brakes are wicked easy and really aint tat expensive. unless you need new rotors. DO NOT BUY AUTO PARTS FROM WAL MART! especially something as vital as brakes. go to a good auto parts store (NAPA, Advance Auto, Auto zone, National Auto, etc.) an 05 Malibu im pretty sure has disc brakes in front and drum in back. a set of brake shoes for the discs is usually 30ish. and for the drums, usually like five or ten bucks more. remember NAPA does offer a AAA discount :-) go to napaonline.com or advanceautoparts.com to order parts online or to get a part number and call in the order. thats what i always do. it saves the frustration of going to the store only to find they dont have the part and then having to go back down to the store to get the part the next day after they have it shipped in.How much does it cost to change break pads? how much for brake pads( from walmart)( 05 malibu)?
Do NOT buy parts from WalMart. They carry junk. Go to a reputable auto parts store. Please ignore Thomas's comment about not machining the rotors. He is obviously not a mechanic. The rotors should be resurfaced every time you replace the pads.
Go to the websites of parts dealers like Pep Boys or O'Reilley's, they price the parts for you.
DON'T BUY AUTO PARTS FROM WAL-MART, THEY HAVE CHEAP LOW QUALITY PARTS.



BRAKES ARE IMPORTANT GO TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE OR A DEALERSHIP THAT SERVICES YOUR MAKE OF CAR.
haha, they'll probably outsource the brake pads just like everything they get. Do you really want Brake pads that say ';made in China';. Think about the quality you'll be getting. enough said....
brake pads parts depending on your car can be $30-80. installation should not be more than about $100. if they are not vibrating - tell them NOT to machine the rotors. they will charge you for rotor machine whether they do it or don't.

i suggest somewhere other that Walmart.
I cannot agree more with the above responses, DO NOT BUY FROM WALMART. Go to a good parts store. Probably about $30.
normally around 20 or $25.
here is the parts and price if you do it yourself really easy to do
