How much is it to get brake pads changed?

300-600 depending on your vehicle.



Its a small price to pay to help avoid an accident.How much is it to get brake pads changed?
it depends, brake pads are usually cheap and labor is probably worth the same if not much...its cheap just go do itHow much is it to get brake pads changed?
Most places charge around 100 per axle. I recommend you ask a friend or family member. Pads cost around 25.00 a pair and they are easy to install.
OK,well you don't say the type of vehicle,but a garage will charge a lot more than a local guy who does side jobs.ask around to find someone like that.you will save a lot.i work on cars all the time on the side and i usually charge about 50 dollars.
About $100 per axle. Call around for free quotes. May depend on if rotors need to be turned or maybe even replaced, if damaged.
150.00 for labor,hes nuts,my shop is 89.95,that includes machining the rotors,and hardware.
$150 is fair for labor and costs. Brake pads costs $25-35 and to turn the rotors another $20. So he is making less than $100 on the labor which is very dirty. If you go somewhere else, you will probably pay $200-250 but you will also have a warranty so weigh your options.
If you can change them or have a reliable friend, the pads are fairly cheap. (mine were 20 something for front)

Having them done by a professional, they won't change just the pads and all the rest adds up: turning drums/rotors, replacing bleeders, or whatever.

My brother just paid over $400 for his front brakes.
NOOO. That is not a good deal at all. Depending on where you live there is a place called Brake Team and they will do all your brakes for 100 bucks thats front and rear. For anyone that knows how to work on cars this is a 20 min job max. So 150 is outrageous.
That is way to much for an driveway mechanic to charge. I would pay him no more than $50-$75
iff pads only then 1 hr tops whole car. if machining req'd a lot more, pads std abt $25-30 NOT oem, competition grade a bit more, usually. You can buy a workshop manual and the tools to DIY for less than he's demanding. I'd consider him less than honest person, and be careful of him in all things from here on.
Around 75.00 to 125.00 an axle with brake pads included. Around 50 each to cut the rotors or drums, you would still have to pay for even if your friend does the work. If you need spring kit that will be another 20.00 dollars or so. No, that is to much to pay a friend or neighbor to do. On the street the going rate it about 50.00 an axle, but if he is a good friend he would do it for free. The brakes would be installed for about 200.00 to 300.00 at the local shop with the warranty. (FRIEND OR NEIGHBOR IT SHOULD BE FREE)
well sounds like he is also buying the beer for you guys tonight,yea that is a little much for a hour tops of labor.$50 to $75 is what i charge.and if you have to change the rotors he should not charge you anymore then $100 is the top.still is a little high tho.
midas charges about $160 for all 4 wheels and that includes the parts and labor as long as you don't need new rotors or rear brake drums.
