When to have brake maintenance of Honda 2003 Honda Odyssey?

The front brake pads have wear indicators that will cause a squealing noise during braking when the pads need replacement. If you don't have this noise during braking they don't need replaced. Rear pads should last through 2-3 sets of front pads. The brake fluid should be replaced every three years.

What is replaced with brake repair?

Most often a brake repair simply involves replacing the brake pads. If the pads have worn too much though the rotors or drums will also need to be resurfaced or replaced. In more serious cases the master cylinder that controls the brake pressure will be replaced. Brake lines rarely if ever need to be replaced.

You just replaced brake pads on a 2000 grand am an they are squeaking does any one know how to fix that problem?

Disc brake squeaking starts with high temperatures on the face of the pad and then it is magnified at the back of the pads where they contact the caliper. When you replaced the brake pads did you have the rotors machined? You should because the run-out on the rotors can be part of the problem. Also you have anti-rattle clips; were they installed correctly? If you did these correctly then try this: Remove the brake pads and on the back of the pads apply a couple of heavy beads of RTV silicone and let it set up for 20 minutes then install the pads; that should take care of the noise.
