Well, you could take a wheel off and see if they even changed the pads. I have seen some weird stuff happen when I used to work at a stealership.

Do both sides squeel? Front/Rear? .....

Yea I'd check that first.. doesn't Midas have a warranty? Otherwise, perhaps that little indicator thing that tells you when the pads are wearing out got bent somehow.

I would take it back and see a) if they changed the pads and rotors or b) see if they put on a decent quality pad/rotor. That right there could very well be the problem.

they probably used the cheapo advance auto wearever silvers and man do those squeal... could also be that they didnt put any lube on the back of the pad and it squeals under braking right?

I brought in my own pads and rotors and watched them threw the window change everything, I dont ever let anyone work on my car without me watching, not even and oil change. and yes the squeel only happens under braking

have powerslot rotors, slotted and dimpled, and hawk ceramic pads. and as for the sound it happens everynow and then, not all the time that I stop. but say I stop 10 times on my way to work it will squeel 4-6 times. also it changes from passenger side rear, then driver side front, the driver side both front and back, all over the place.

Did you seat them after you bought them. Go to 80mph and then hammer the brakes, being careful not to lock them up. do it 4 or 5 times.
