Sounds like warped rotors. They will fix it.

Its a common thing.

Warped rotors would be m guess too. Did you wash your car/spray down the brakes w/ cold water after driving the car hard recently???? That'll do it.

I`ll bet they used an air impact wrench on the wheels when you had the 30K service, i.e. rotating tires,etc. Those things warp way more rotors than water on hot rotors.
