Yesterday, Sears replace my front brake pads and rotors. Today my car is making a terrible squeal front the front passenger side around the tire. Could this be related to the work done on brakes? Any idea's what it would be?

Hi:
Yes it can be the result of work they did. I would go back because it sounds like they either forgot to tighten a caliper properly allowing it to hit the wheel, the pads are not properly installed, or it could be the backing plate hitting the rotor.

Let me know what you find or if you have questions.
