Hi

 

Probably warped front disks. I have had this a few times and replacing the front disks is not a difficult job, best to replace the pads at the same time. If you have ABS than make sure you crimp the brake hose to stop and fluid going back to the ABS unit when you push the caliper piston back in.

 

If you are technical than you can get a DTI (clock gauge) and check the run out of the disk.

 

If the outer edge of the disk has a significant 'lip' then they are due for replacement, there is a min thickness but I do not know this off hand
