Brake Pads Replacement Cost

Squealing brakes? Brake pad replacement is one of the most common repairs, and the cost is pretty predictable.

Brake pad replacement costs between $150 and $350 per axle for most vehicles. The pads themselves range from $30 to $100 per set depending on whether you choose ceramic, semi-metallic, or organic compounds. Ceramic pads are quieter and produce less dust but cost more. Labor typically takes 30 minutes to an hour per axle. The total for all four wheels usually falls between $300 and $700.

When replacing brake pads, a mechanic should also measure the rotors for thickness and check for scoring or warping. Thin or damaged rotors need to be replaced or resurfaced — putting new pads on bad rotors wastes the pads and compromises stopping power. Brake hardware like clips, pins, and slides should be cleaned and lubricated to prevent uneven wear and squeaking on the new pads.
