Its your brake pads. You have one of 2 options that im aware of to fixing
this. 
First id take a can of brake cleaner and wash down the rotors, inside and
outside and while turning the rotor. Brake dust will cause an anoying
squeal sometimes and if this is the case, this will fix it for a while. 

The other thing you can do is remove the pads and either spray on some
brake quieter on the backs of the pads and reinstall, or, install some
pad shims which will do the same thing. They act as dampners which will
keep tha pads from vibrating in the carriers.

>Is this unusual?


No, people get second jobs to help feed their kids, or help pay other
bills so why not to expidite the fixing up of a car? Nothing wrong with
that.

Notice that these 50 were not from all over the world. Oh look, they are
all from the United States. Hmm.
Oh, look, none of them are from the east coast. How odd that could be. 
Aint it just plain scary that all 50 of these most beautiful people come
from the same damn place, HOLLYWOOD. 
I wouldnt stress over it too much.
