Find a different shop.
If you want new brakes, I like my BB7s. They squeal like stuck pigs when wet, though.
Edit: Did a couple minutes of googling "tektro novela disc brakes" and found lots of negative reviews. A couple people wrote that they had constant or near constant brake chatter. Seems like these brakes are the cheapest of the cheap, and I'm guessing your shop guys were doing all they could to get them working right.
Upgrade time! BB7s, baby, BB7s. Or go hydro.
