How much does it cost to replace brakes and rotors

Labor at a shop to replace rotors and pads is approximately $150 to $200 per axle. Brake rotor and pad repair generally comes out to around $250 to $500 per axle when visiting a professional shop.

You do not need to replace all 4 rotors at the same time, but it is recommended to replace the rotors and pads as a set for each axle front or back at the same time. If the front brakes need to be replaced but the rear brakes are not worn out yet, then you do not need to replace the rear brakes.

Typically, brake pad replacement costs about $150 per axle, or $300 total on average. That’s just a ballpark estimate, though. Costs can range from between $100 to $300 per axle. Cheaper brake pads are made up of composite organic material.

Like brake pads, brake rotors wear out over time. … If they are thinner than the manufacturer’s recommended thickness, then you need to replace your brake rotors immediately. Some vehicles always require new pads and rotors because the rotors cannot be resurfaced.

Rotors themselves range anywhere from $30-$80 each. Those prices depend on the quality, type and brand. In the instances that your rotors can be resurfaced, the price can be considerably less – around $100-$150 per axle.
