Angry Bad Luck with Break Pads

I would like to point out my endless problems with the service center in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Despite my series of visits to the workshop for the last six months, I still have the squeaking sound in the breaks. In the first visit I was told that I need to change my all four break pads. Soon after having replaced all front and rear break pads and noticing the problem was still prevailing, I was advised that I need to drive it for a couple of days for the sound to disappear.
However odd that sounded, I accepted the suggestion having faith in Porsche and left the workshop. Having drove for a couple of days as suggested, and noticing that the sound did not get any better, I hurried back to the service center on which no one in there even have a record of my last visit. To make matter worse it was again suggested that I replace my front breaks to solve the problem. Again having confidence in Porsche, I agreed to the outrageous solution. After having drove for a couple of days and noticing no hope in resolving the problem, I returned to the workshop only to complain with the same problem because they promised me that they will replaced all breaking system (break pads and disks) under warranty.

This time round, I was told that the disk breaks would be lathed and I am to come back in three days. If the sound still prevails, I am promised that all four disk breaks including break pads would be replaced on their expense again.
