Default Brake drag problems!

So i needed new tires for my 03 f4i so i looked around locally, and found some shinkos mounted and ballanced for 280, which i dont think is too bad, anyways in the process getting them installed they did something to my front brakes!!! They now drag and i hear them constantly when im acc/dec lightly! I went back and their mechanic took off both calipers, and took out the pads and they didnt look bad. He cleaned them right in front of me, and put them back on....i have put on 250 miles on the bike and i still have the noise...wtf? I have even gone to means of taking a highway ride and dragging the front brakes because i thought maybe the pads didnt line up with their original mounting location. This is the first time the wheels have ever been off. Has anyone had a problem like this before? What should i do now?

When you press the brake does it feel squishy? Maybe there's a bubble in your brake line (bleed the brake).
Is the lever tight to start with? Maybe you need to adjust the lever...
