this is really common in big cars like falcons and commodores. ESPECIALLY autos.as when you use the brakes alot and get them really hot and then come to a stop say at a set of traffic lights, and you sit there with your foot on the brake while still in drive, this causes the brake disc to cool down at a different rate around its diameter and it warps.

Needs to be skimmed to correct any warping and to remove glazing which can also contribute to shudder
Thanks for that looks like I'm going back to the workshop

I'd be asking the question why the rotors were not machined, or else replaced if at or too close to minimum thickness when the pads were done, if the car was road tested by them and the issue raised its obvious what the appropriate course of action was.After consulting the owner of course about the extra cost.
