How much will it cost to replace brakes?

I had my '97 chevy lumina brought into the shop for another problem a few weeks ago that was fixed. My mechanic mentioned that the front brakes will need to be done, but I could wait a little while to replace them. He didn't go into great detail, but I assume that he was talking about the pads. Recently the front brakes have been making a loud squeaking noise when I apply my foot to the brakes. Does anyone have any idea how much getting the front brakes done would cost and how much longer I can wait to have them done.How much will it cost to replace brakes?Roughly a hundred dollars per axle. Unless you do it yourself then about $50 per axle and an entire day.How much will it cost to replace brakes?if they just need new pads, it should be $200-$300 dollars or so,



as for how long you can wait, ask the mechanic who looked at them first, or take it someplace and have a brake inspection done (almost any place that does brakes offers free inspections). They should give you a % of pad wear, 0% would be no pads left at all, so you will want to replace them by the time they are at 25% or so. The place that does your inspection should be able to tell you about how much longer they will last.How much will it cost to replace brakes?You should have them replaced soon. The squeaking noise you hear is like an alarm built into the pads. There is a metal tab that starts to rub on the rotor when the pads are worn down. Brakes are very easy to do if you have a few tools and the abiltiy.... try it yourself. Once you get good at it, it will only take you about an hour to replace them. If you take it in it will cost you a little more than $100. Good luckHow much will it cost to replace brakes?Really depends on the grade of frount breaks you buy.

THere are breaks

There are semi metalic

There is full metalic

Then there was ceremic

If you have it done and you dont need rotors, about 100-150How much will it cost to replace brakes?Midas $89 an axle. This actually means per wheel. More if they talk you into rotors, brake lines or a master cylinder.



You can do this yourself also. You'll need a set of allen wrenches or Star wrenches, a hammer and a C clamp. You'll also need to find a local parts dealer that turns rotors. Disk brake pads are not really that hard to changeHow much will it cost to replace brakes?My mechanic charged me $160. But I also needed new rotors. However, I think most places charge more. Call around for the best rate.How much will it cost to replace brakes?If you need new rotors it will be more money, if you ride on them with bad pads for too long, you can pretty much guarantee that you will need new rotors.



I wouldn't wait too long. It varies from place to place. Call a couple of local places and ask about pads. And then ask about pads and rotors.How much will it cost to replace brakes?That really does depend on the vehicl in question, i had a car a few years back and it only cost $65.00 then the car I have now cost almost $150.00.
