If the car is in warranty then yeah bring it back, at least for a diagnosis.
If it turns out to be pads and they want €€ to fix it you can have a cheaper mechanic sort it.

Brake squeeling isnt actually a problem though. The genuine pads have a backing that is intended to stop this squeel but I guess they could take it in for you and stick alittle copper grease on the back of the pads or swap them out altogether for you
