I had a dealer rotate tires and replace front and rear brake pads today for
my '03 Odyssey. There seems to be constant loud noise coming from the rear
tires and occasional humming noise from the front ones. So, the car is
noticeably noisier. What's going on? Thanks.

New pads are sometimes a bit noisier than the old ones, right after they are
installed.

Still, you need to be sure what is going on. Don't EVER let those SOBs
install your
wheels with an impact wrench, EVEN IF they claim they use special torque
limiting
devices.

Some dealers are good, but a lot are your WORST nightmare. Ask questions,
get them
to check their work if you are not satisfied. I'm sure they didn't do it
for free.
