It will be interesting to see what the second shop finds. Did the braking performance worsen after the first work with the rotors and pads, or was poor braking the reason you had the work done?

This is the same shop. (I know.) My first mistake was not sticking my nose into it more. 
This is my error of omission. I got lazy. 
The original repair was turning the rotors and replacing the pads. Supposedly, the slide pins were cleaned and greased. 
On the way home from the repair, I smelled brakes when stopping medium hard. Smell went away quickly. 
Brakes were not that good after the repair. We put about 6,000 miles until now. Brake performance is dwindling. 
I’ll let you know what they find and I see. 

Thanks for the responses.

I have only just joined but am a heavy truck engineer in the UK can you tell me if the brake caliper is a DX195 and does it have a lever for operating the brakes and if so does it have a grease nipple on it . We had some serious problems with the shaft seizing on the roller bearings . The reconditioned ones had a grease nipple fitted and a grease seal on the bottom , The problem meant we had failed brakes on the foot brake

Phil,
I will look. From memory, the disc utilize a standard looking air dash pot and moves an offset lever. 
Better pictures later.
