Is it normal for brakes to squeal after having front brake pads installed?

Did you have the rotors resurfaced? Proper pad wear is dependent upon a perfect or close to perfect mating surface on the rotor. Also did you apply a dab of ani-squeal to the back of the pads? Another scenario could be that you have some particles logged between the pads and the rotor

Also ask if they used cheap semi-metallic pads or the better ceramic pads. Semi-metallic pads can build up lots of metal dust quickly especially when new. Also, this situation is amplified on a rotor that had become "glossy". For $20 each I always prefer to change the rotors as well.

I'd like to know the answere too
