Wow, is this Mechanic Bull****ting me.

I keep hearing squeeling from my brakes whenever I come to a short stop.
The guy tells me my brakes are perfectly fine and I don't need new ones.

I'm wondering what do I use to stop the squeaking, it's annoying and the guy was telling me its because of overheat?

What should I do?

This is a known problem with Infiniti's brakes. They squeal when they're brand new

The pad ears are vibrating and when the ears of the pads touch the caliper housings, they make a sound like a squeal. You either have to apply some brake quiet to the pad backs or some grease to the pad EARS. Not the pad surface!
