Squeak sound coming from right front tire

I recently got new brakes and rotors put on my vehicle. For some reason, the right front wheel seems to be squeaking (brake drags?) and when I hit the brakes, the noise stops. This was happening even before I got the brakes and rotors replaced. Could this be a problem with the caliper? The noise is annoying as it echoes off of parked cars and buildings in city driving. I think it's more prevalent when the wheels are warmed up.

Might be the calipers. When I do a brake job on my rigs, I pop out the slider pins, clean them up, and re-lube. Don't know if your shop did that. If those pins are sticking (very common in older rigs) the pads won't retract evenly, so you'll get unbalanced wear on the pads and potentially some squealing.

Also, possibly the shop didn't get the centering springs reinstalled right -- that also can keep the pads contacting the rotor when they shouldn't. That's less likely -- I can see a DIY'er making that mistake, but it'd take a truly incompetent mechanic to screw that one up.

Heh. I heard some squeaking from my left front wheel. Found out that the reason is in loose decorative cover on the wheel
