Its probably your brake pads...buy oem pads from servco.
youtube is your best friend if you want to know more about change brake pads and/or rotors...easy DIY if you have some tools. If you dont have tools...i suggest investing in some.

The first time I did my front brakes I bought my pads from Sewell Lexus. Link your CL account to Sewell so you can get your CL discount. If you have base access, then you can use the lift and tools for about $3 hr and they can or you can resurface your rotors for a small fee.
