I've had my front brake pads changed by Vauxhall last week. I collected it on Monday following my holiday and I've only covered 26 miles since I collected it, however I coming off the duel carriageway today I noticed that they are still squealing. I'm not sure whether this is right or not? I know they need time to bed in but surely they shouldn't squeal?

This is what my discs look like at the minute... Obviously the pads are still bedding in

Mine did this too after I got mind changed. Went back to the mechanic who put copper paste on the pads and it's been fine ever since
