for a simple brake pad installation i would say anywhate from 80 - 120 is reasonablew considering some brake pads can cost up to 60 bucks for a front pair. rotors can cost up to 100 at most shops. worst case scenario and everything needs to be done (new pads, new rotors, bleed brake fluid) i would expect to pay a max of 350 at regular service shop and up to 500 at a dealer....How much, roughly, should it cost to replace my brakes?Sher,
We just got an estimate on front brakes for my wife's 99 Pathfinder. For the front the estimate is $375.00.
Remember, the front brakes usually need to be replaced before the back brakes.
This is from an independent garage. It could be cheaper at a place like Sears or WalMart, but we really trust this place, and they do super work. When I put my family in the Pathfinder - brakes are a critical component.
%26quot;Ranger%26quot;How much, roughly, should it cost to replace my brakes?All depends if the pads or shoes are metal on metal, then u need rotors or drums. Without inspecting the vehicle, i would guess the cost could be about $150 to $500 for disc brakes. Nobody could tell u - to the penny - without looking at it. Lots of places give free brake inspections- check them out!!!!!How much, roughly, should it cost to replace my brakes?front $89.95
rear $99.95
if it does not need anything morHow much, roughly, should it cost to replace my brakes?if just the pads and shoes they go for about $80.00 mid grade. install is $100.00How much, roughly, should it cost to replace my brakes?Ok first off are you just replacing the brake pads? If so then make sure you buy good quality brake pads. Personally I'd get Bendix Ceramic brake pads. They cost roughly $60-$80 and are of excellent quality and provide little noise as well as little brake dust. They are performance pads so they should last you a long time
Second, before you go out and buy ceramic brake pads. You should ask yourself how will you be using the vehicle. Ceramic pads usually are used on cars, SUVs and some light duty trucks. If you have a light-duty truck or don't tow heavy loads then ceramic pads are for you. However, if you drive with heavy loads such as carpooling, driving your kids around, or if you do alot of towing then semi-metallic pads are for you. Semi-metallic pads are more commonly used for vehicles with heavy loads or for vehicle such as police cars and ambulances because they require less maintenance, and they have excellent heat and wear properties
There shouldn't be any more cost to you unless you have someone else do the work for you. If you replace the pads yourself it shouldn't take any longer than 2 hours depending on the vehicle your are working on.
Ok now there is only one last thing that I have to tell you. If you decide that semi-metallic pads are for you. Then, you will be happy to know that they cost less than ceramic pads.Everything I have mentioned above are key factors in picking quality pads.
Hope this helps!!
