How much does it cost to repair brake pads?

Answer:

Answer

Not much if you know what you are doing. If you don't know what you are doing, take it to Pep Boys or something and you can usually get it done for forty or fifty dollars

Front brake pads replacement cost usually cost between $20 and $35, depending on quality and the vehicle. Rotors are usually under $100.00 ea, again depending on the vehicle, but you may not need them. They're much less for passanger cars and more for trucks. Calipers only need to be replaced if they're leaking or sticking. If you can do the job yourself, you can save a lot of money. If you take it to a mechanic, the bid won't include the rotors, but when you get the bill you'll pay for them anyway. Most shops won't turn the rotors and will install new ones, but if they aren't damaged you can often re-use rotors by having them resurfaced at a cost of $5.00 to $15 ea, depending on where it's done.
