Have they not taken out pads and checked / cleaned out and greased with Copperslip ? You tend to get noise with all the recent salt on roads getting into brakes .Simple to clean out and check .Only thing is they might not do that under warranty if it's dirt / salt in callipers / pads .Had it on one of my own cars recently and thats what it was causing noise .

it could be the pads are low or that the pad shims or back plate are touching the disc and causing the noise,take the wheels off and make sure the pads are ok and that nothing is touching on discs

At 3000 mls and a 60 reg , there is no way the pads will be low and there are no pad shims on that car either .

Hi!
Am also convinced its the brake pads that are making that noise when you brake.Remove them and check one by one if the whole pad it sitting on the disk correctly.Sometimes this can be caused by the material used on brake pads.Lets not forget that wear is also determined by driving habits.
