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.

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).
