No, it's not common and no, it's not safe either 
You took it into a garage for this and the just replaced the brakes on the affected side? Was this "Buffalo Bill's Back Street Car Repairs"?
I think your first port of call will be to check they actually did free it up.

If I take it somewhere else and they find fault do I have any come back to them. All is well i called the garage this morning and he told me hes fed up of me complaining and if i come in hes gonna knock my teeth out
