My brakes are squeaking, it happens more so when you are driving in traffic and are starting out at a slow speed and then it will make noise usually around 40-45mph. It will also do it on an incline/ramp around that same speed. I think my brake are shot.

Replacing front brake pads and rotors really isn't too hard to do. If you do it yourself, make sure to get lifetime parts so you never have to pay for them again.

To get you started, here is a link that shows in general how it is done. You can use it as a guide.
