Now my breaks squeal whenever i hit the pedal. i took it back to him and i can swear it doesnt squeal when he takes it out for a test drive.
i drove the car with him and they STOP squealing. this has been going on for weeks and i have taken the car back three time and getting frustrated.
i think he ripped me because i dont know about cars and rely on professionals to take care of things. Honestly my breaks were fine as far as i could feel before the repair and now it's gone bad. i feel like reporting the guy but what if i'm doing something wrong?
any help you guys can give me would be great.

Fustration is understandable, and isnt it always the case, vehicles never do the things you want them too when you bring them in to get checked.
my first question to you is did the mech. replace your pads and rotors with aftermarket parts (non original parts)? I know in some cases aftermarket brake components react in a different way then OEM (brake noise and comfort).
It would be hard for him to diagnose the problem if nothing is wrong when you bring it in to him. ask him to take the brakes apart and re-lubricate all the points. then go from there. If the problem persists then you might want to look into getting the OEM parts installed (providing that aftermarket are installed now)
