My disc brakes in my vanagons always squeaked... well, not always, but
frequently.  And even after brake jobs too.  I always thought it was just
dust that got in them.  Seemed to come and go as I recall.  My new 89 syncro
westy (three months new to me) does not squeak.  Yet.

Matt;
        I doubt if they will do anything for a squeak since it would be
above and beyond the call of get-em-in-get-em-out economics.
        You would be better off trying to fix it yourself.
