That's not a happy tale. :( Reads like the garage that fitted your Brembo's are a school of sharks.

If the brakes are as bad as they say did you notice anything when driving it. Did the car pull to the side or vibrate under braking etc. If they mean by overheated the brakes discs have warped you would usually notice this as the driver.
By uneven tyre wear what exactly has happened?could something else be coming into play here. Have they check for worn bushes etc

The garage is actually a client and I trust them 100%.

After being in this trade for more than 45 years I would suggest you need to learn who to trust a lot more. :(

I had a siezed front caliper on my zed, this was just 4 months after new discs and pads were fitted by dealer. New caliper was required and a disc had been warped when checked. Discs and pads were replaced FOC by dealer due to short time period, I just paid for a new caliper.
