Default keyless entry

I picked my car up from the shop yesterday (new brakes/tires, nothing done under the hood) and now my keyless entry doesn't work and everytime and get in the car the alarm system goes off if unlock one of the passanger door or put my foot on the brake before turning the key. WTF is going on (any thoughts)?

Easy answer... Take it back! Or, you could reprogram the system to your key fob. Just because nothing was done under the hood doesn't mean someone couldn't have shorted something.

You might want to check the battery in your remote. This can also be the cause of your problem.
