Default new brakes squeal

Last month I had my local Dodge dealership shop service my brakes (new pads, resurface rotors). Now the brakes squeal badly at low-speed braking. I've moved out of state since they serviced it, so going back isn't really an option. Any tips for how I can make it stop squealing?

Brake lube on all contact surfaces, besides pad to rotor contact of course, if they still squeal then they probably let the rotors sing when they were resurfacing them, which can cause a squeal.

bigsloth has the right idea, that is the main thing you can do to avoid squeels.

Take it to a dealer in your area. Still should be under warranty.
