Default Thump noise when braking???

I just had my front brakes replaced by a shop a few days ago. Yesterday, I started realizing a thumping noise when I brake coming from the front right wheel area. Its braking fine, it just makes a loud thump when I hit the petal. Any idea what it could be? Did they not put something on right? I'm going to take it back, but I can't for a couple days because I'm away from home, and I want to make sure its not something really wrong, and that I won't have brakes...


Thanks

your inner pad is loose. you'll be fine, nothing to worry about but don't prolong it because your inner pads could wear out faster. if they can't put pads on properly maybe you should consider a different shop next time man. or do them yourself because it's super easy

Yeah, i figured it was something like that, and I don't think I'll go to the shop anymore because its not the first time they screwed something up.

I love how places can't do ANYTHING right on an Audi unless its a Euro shop or dealer. People are so stupid.

Thanks bro.
