jeepers creepers none of you guys ever heard of glazed pads? That's what makes them squeak. Not the cars fault that they got overheated and glazed? The glazing is what is "on" the pads. Replace the pads. Tell her to not ride the brakes, take her foot off the brake pedal and let the pad release from the rotor after you stop even if it's a 1/8 turn of the tire.. It causes excess heat to build up in the pads and they glaze. Once it's been glazed it will never ever stop squeaking because you can't get the stuff off. The 2001 Quigley had a huge problem with glazed front pads. I'd sometimes replace them after 5000 miles. Solution was to go to ultra cheapy pads. Get rid of the ceramic/semi metallic stuff as that will cause glazing more often than not. If they can do a front brake job properly for $75 I'd be looking for someplace else to take it to because it's too cheap and they're not doing something... Last brake job on my SUV was $700.
