My *trusted* Mercedes mechanic did it.

I will just take it to the local brake shop and have them take a look. Thanks!

I'll bet a nickel that they did the pads but not the rotors...the rotors have grooves from the old pads and the new ones ride on those grooves and squeal. Touching the brake makes better contact so it stops squealing but it returns as soon as the pedal is released. Could also be ceramic pads were used which are harder than the organic ones normally used.

Is that a sarcastic *trust*? If not, I suggest taking it back to the shop that did the work. I'd think they'd correct the problem without charge. Sounds like a pad issue.
