In February, we had our rear brakes and rotors replaced. In March I smelled a burning smell, but couldn't find from where. Two weeks later we noticed the smell again and smoke coming from the driver side brakes. I have attached a picture of what looks like the brake pad melting. I think.

Where we got the work done is almost 3 hours away at a reputable tires/brake business. Any suggestions?

It is the rear driver's side.

From the picture, it looks like the caliper may be sticking. If it does, the brakes will drag and overheat. Have the caliper slides and caliper piston checked.
