more than likely cv half shafts are bad, but should be a progressive thing, starting out with light clicking and progressively gets worse. which side is another question. check to see if one of the rubber boots is torn or missing. usually turning left and noise indicates the right side and vice versa. I would recommend taking to a different mechanic seeing how there was no noise before brakes were done.
