Default brake pulsing

ok guys, I searched everywhere for an answer to this, but I'm new, so sorry if this has been answered.

I am getting a pulsing feeling in the brake pedal, it seems like it pulses every rotation. It only happens at low speeds, so I was thinking maybe my rotors are warped, but I took it in and the mechanic said my brakes are fine. I looked at the pads, and they are all pretty new. also I'm getting a ton of squealing when braking at low speeds. Is the mechanic retarded or could it be something that they might have overlooked?

also if anyone knows where to get an exaust for my 2.8 quattro let me know!

lol for the your uncle part. if your rotors are warped, you'll feel a huge pulsing, trust me you'd know if they were warped. try some brake cleaner and blast your whole brake assembly with it, then put some brake anti squeak on it. both can be found at any auto parts store. also check your torque on your wheels and brakes.

^+1. I'll put 20 bucks on warped rotors. Go get them resurfaced and see if it goes away. Cheapest fix. If it doesn't, EBay has cheap rotors... just don't get drilled ones.
