Question: Rotors/pads (new) - squeak

Greetings folks,

I recently had rotors and brake pads replaced on my 2007 Camry (front pads/rotors and read pads/rotors).

It was done last week and she is braking fine. But sometimes now when I brake there's a low-medium squeaking sound from the brakes. Is this normal / what's the likely cause?

Thanks!

You cannot say anything by now since it is too early. You need beakdown time for pads (approx.100 miles). Try to brake very smoothly to provide good breakdown process. Usually brake problems showing up with extra sounds are not dangerous. Mostly these are a problems of poor quality pads (air captured in lining during manufacturing). Most important is whether the car behaves properly. If yes, don't worry about safety.
