if you also had your rotors replaced w/ the brake service then its because the mechanic did not completely clean off the chemical compound applied to the rotor when shipped. its used so it stays in top condition. if you have your OLD rotors and it smokes after new pads, then something is very wrong. more than likely wrong brake pad or the person who worked on your brakes messed something up.

Why do the brake rotors become warped on your 2006 Saturn 6-cyl VUE after about 6000 miles?
Rotors warp when they overheat. Perhaps you're riding the brakes, have a sticking caliper or are going downhill a lot and are overheating the brakes that way. Often pulling a trailer will overheat the brakes, especially if the trailer does not have electric brakes. If none of the above seem to apply to your situation, perhaps someone put cheaper rotors on the vehicle; some of the import rotors look the same but they warp quite easily. Also not torquing the lug nuts correctly can warp the rotors. If the lug nuts are put on too tight the rotors will warp on some vehicles.
Is it normal for new brake pads and rotors to smoke at first?
yes it is normal due to an oily residue on new rotors. it is recommended to use brake cleaner and or warm soapy water to remove the oils but not absolutely necessary. they will operate fine with the oil residue still on them but expect them to smoke and smell funny, it is normal . it takes a little bit for the brakes to get worn in as well as the rotors so start braking earlier than normal and don't slam on them until you feel them acting like normal or you will put grooves in the rotors and possibly the brakes as well wich will give your car that shake in the steering wheel and you will have to replace pads and pay to have the rotors turned or possibly replace the pads and rotors again due to an un-even surface.
Why would a 1992 Nissan pick-up brakes make a screeching noise if it has new brakes and good bearings?
The posts that the calipers slide on need to be lubed too. Look at the brakes, something is touching the rotors. Something has been put together wrong or the slides are binding and the pads are staying in contact with the rotors after the brakes are released.

What does it mean to machine the brake rotors and drum brakes?
The rotors in disc brakes and the drums are what the pads and shoes rub against to stop a car. With use, the surface can get grooves in it or a build up of rust scale; reducing the braking efficiency. To machine the rotors and drums, they are put on a lathe that cuts a new smooth surface on the face of each. Depending on wear, any given rotor or drum can probably be turned 2 or 3 times before needing to be replaced.
