Brake squeal is often not an indication that one's brakes are shot. As long as the brakes are working well and the brake pads are not too worn, the squealing noise could just be an annoyance. As a quick fix, you may want to visit your local parts store and try some of their "brake squeal" products, which are inexpensive and easy to apply. Alternatively, you may want to take this vehicle in for a brake inspection
