Brake squeal is not an uncommon problem and is usually not difficult to resolve. Often, it is a sign of worn front brake pads. If so, replacing them with new ones should immediately eliminate any noise.
Ensure the replacement pads are of a make recommended by the vehicle manufacturer or from a well-known high-quality brand.
