    Please Help - Brakes

    Hi all, I bought my GT86 (17 plate) two weeks ago and ever since Ive noticed a squealing noise every time I break at slow speeds. The garage that I bought it from was not a Toyota garage so they've also been a bit puzzled. They first got me to bring the car back so they could sand a new surface onto my brake pads which did nothing to stop the squeak. Next they booked it in with the Toyota garage local to me who changed my front pads to a softer compound as part of a recall/bulletin but said at the time that they would also like to change my disks but were unable to get in contact with the other garage for authorisation. The pads did nothing to stop the squealing. The garage where I purchased the car from are reluctant to replace the disks in case it does not solve the squealing noise, and have said that it sounds like a characteristic of the car. Is this something that the car just has or is this something that is fixable? Any advice or suggestions are gladly welcome.
