Take it to another shop. Don't tell them about the previous work done before you get their answer. But DO tell them that they only do this when they're hot.

It sounds like a problem that is due to new brakes and having the rotors turned, more than likely the noises will stop as the brakes get "broke in" and the outer layer of the brake pads is wore off...I have a truck with 40,000 miles on it...and the brakes squeal and squeak occasionally and it is due to road dust and or brake dust ...I have inspected the brakes personally and found that they are fine and wearing correctly, it is just a little annoying...If you find that the problem persists it could be the ceramic pads are producing the noise...where a raybestious pad would not...but either way ...if it keeps up for 3 weeks or more just take it to a different shop and tell them you would like to have your brakes inspected...don't say anything else...If there is a problem take it to the shop that originally installed said brakes and ask them to correct it...if they refuse your only recourse is to get a written estimate from a reputable shop stating the problem and cost and take them to small claims court....I hope it does not come to that...

it may just be the dust and road dirt and newer brakes will actually squeak and squeal for about a week or two until they're actually worn into their new groove pattern. if it persists after about a month, i would definitely take it back to the shop that made the repair. if they still insist there's nothing wrong with them, take it to another shop along with your repair bills from the original shop. if the new shop tells you there's something wrong with them, take a written estimate from the new shop back to the original shop and insist on them correcting the problem...if it was, in fact, something the original shop did wrong. if they refuse, let the new shop make the repair and take the original shop to court for the cost of the repairs. hope this helps!!

Ceramic pads are very hard. Your rotor will go before the pads. That's what's making the noise.

Keep taking it back until they fix it! You paid good money for the work, it should be done right..They will get tired of you after awhile and do something! (drive it around awhile until it makes noise THEN take it back)
