Question: Replaced front and back brakes as well as rotors, but still hearing squeak sound

Question

Ok so I decided to take my car in to get new brakes and rotors because the light was coming on and whenever i would back up my car would make a loud squeaky sound so after getting my car back I continue to hear the sound coming from the back side of my car. I guess my question is how is this possible if everything is new and has been replaced. I took my car back to the shop and the guy calls me back and tells me nothing is wrong with it. Any advice.
Thanks in advance

    Brake squeak is something we constanly have to deal with. Its usally is not a safety concern but a anoyence. It can be caused by a number of things. Many times its a chatter of the pads due to how they fit in calipers. If it only does it when backing up I suspect the pad tolerance fit could be the issue.
