Default new breaks & knocking sound

Hi, I need some help please. I've recently had my disc's & pads changed. Everytime I break I hear a knocking sound, the garage is changing the pads but say the noise may continue. I don't think this correct, I just need views from people who are clued up. Thanks

Without looking it's hard to say but if it wasn't doing it before and it is now you'd have to question a few things, are they fitted correctly? Are they genuine or pattern pads? Is there some kind of anti rattle shim that they've left out? Did they copper grease the backs and sides of the pads? If they didn't knock before then there's no reason why they should now imo.

Hope that helps,

Karl
