Whenever i slow down to stop, my brakes always squeak. Does anyone know how to fix this.

Your brake pads are probably almost gone. Just get some new pads and throw them on. Not really too difficult of a job.

Brake pads are manufactured to do that when they are worn to a certain point as an audible reminder to replace them. Front pads and rotors are cheap is you do it yourself. Ripoff if you take it to a shop.
