Brake Squeal

I have an acquaintance who has a one mechanic garage who told me that to prevent customers from returning after a brake job with complaints of squealing, that he soaks the pads in brake fluid prior to installation.

Has anyone ever heard of this practice?

I would forget you ever heard about soaking brake pads in brake fluid. Never heard of such a thing nor would I remotely consider it. The mechanic that said that (if its really true) obviously has no concern about the safety of his customers.

It's true that he said it. That's why I am asking? I'm not about to let him get his hands on my car. I was just there with a friend to pick up his car and saw the bucket he soaks them in.. and some laying out drying. It seems to me the chemicals in fluid would be detrimental to the pads.
