Brake pad & Caliper
I just had my brake pad & caliper changed by Westcoast Corvette. It makes squaky noise from the brake, when I step on the brake and the car almost comes to the complete stop. Before I had them changed the barke & caliper, it did not make any noise. Thank you for your input.

I would think a little break-in would help. ALso I assume based on your post you didn't change or turn the rotors.....probably slightly uneven and the pads need to work into the rotor grooves, no matter how minor.

In the meantime take a look and see if there is any grease on the back of the brake pads where the caliper touches the pad.
