There could be a stone or other bit of debris wedged in the brake caliper or one of the pads. This is a common thing and would be worth checking for. It will be a bit of work for you to check though.

Wheels off ETC..

Dude replace your break pads, they probly didnt even check the pads, i do all my own servicing, dont trust those gaylords...pad, change will either fix the problem or remove the rock/debris, but because its when ur breaking itll be ur pads...easy job...

yeah be good chance its the pads

do you know when the last time they were changed? If its a rock etc, take the wheel off. Jack it up if you can with jack/stands..

If you keep driving you'll prob be suggested to machine the disc which will prob be another 200$ or so from memory?

I had a grind after i finished at wakefield raceway, i was pretty noob then...

i get this problem from time to time aswel, although mine only seems to happen when i do alot of driving, ive inspected the pads i still have plenty of meat on them, gonna look into some different pads. My problem is too inconsistant to be a rock or debris in the caliper, it only happens when its hot or been driving for hours, soon as it cools down its fine.. B)
