Sure, but the exact repair depends on what’s causing the squeaking. It could be that the brakes are worn down and the wear indicators are hitting the rotors. In that case, you’ll need a basic brake job.

Brake Pad Problems

Another possibility is a vibration in the pads. This can often be corrected by replacing the insulators or retaining clips, or applying an insulating paste to the back of the pads.

Your Cottman center technician can help you with this; make sure you let them know about the squeal and exactly when it happens, so they can duplicate the problem and repair it properly.
