Brakes problem
1999 Chevy Astro 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

My front brakes squeak when applying brakes around town even 1 1/2 years after pad replacement. The guy that did the work said he used whatever product is supposed to be used to prevent squeaks. He told me to hit the brakes hard while going down the interstate (with no traffic behind, of course). It did not work and I have been living with this annoyance for foo long.

Any Ideas???????

Find another guy need to have new semimetalic pads at least rotors turned if not replaced. If job done right there will be no squeal.
