Most do not actually need that. Ask for them to %26quot;show you%26quot; why it is needed. If there are grooves in the rotor/drum ask them why they can't just %26quot;turn%26quot; it, which is shaving a small amount of metal of it to smooth it out again. this costs about 15--25 each compared to near 50+ or more for replacing. At this cost they should also give a lifetime warranty, most break equipment already comes with it so unless they use cheap quality stuff, or, they do not want to stand behind their quality of work it should be standard.How much does it cost to get brakes fixed?If you only need pads cost for all four that you install about $ 40 - 80. Goodyear and Firestone and a dealership are the most expensive. If your calipers are ok figure about $200.00, or $100,00 per axle at a shop. Rotors cost more, mine about $40.00 a piece from a parts store, more if done at shop. I'd bet you know someone who knows someone who can install parts as good as a shop but lots cheaper. If asked, I would install pads only for $80-100. If you do need rotors and or a caliper or two figure somewhere around $350.00. These are just ballpark guesses. If you have a Tires Plus store in your area, I'd go there. Also, a trip to any local parts store will reveal who they think would be best and probably someone they personally know that will be HAPPY to do it considering the economy. If you have drum brakes on the rear, it's a little more complicated but easy if you've done a few. I buy the cheapest pads available and always get great life out of them, ceramic pads have given my grief because of the heat they generate, warping rotors. Precision tune has a good reputation.
