If you go to a shop and need rotors probably around 450 - 500
Yikes Tyler. I live in Canada and it would cost about 300$ for parts. Than 3 for labor. I would get as many parts as I could from a scrap yard. (the states are a little more) Hope that helps.
She’s about right, but if they can be turned (cost about $10 each) most places do it about $200 - $250. Turning rotors extra, rotor replacement extra. If you know how to do it, complete rotor and brakes front and back cost you about $200 - $250 for parts.
First lets discuss your driving habits. Are you a high mileage driver? Meaning more than 20,000 miles a year. If so you might consider ceramic brake pads for longer life and better heat dissipation. If less than that, semi metallic pads will work fine. A warped rotor if not badly warped, can be resurfaced if you have sufficient material remaining. If not replace the rotor in pairs. I.E. both fronts at the same time or both rears at the same time. This prevents brake fade to one side of the vehicle in extreme conditions. If the pads are worn on one side of the vehicle more so than the other side, you may have a caliper issue that will also need to be corrected. Best case situation, Front and rear pads and resurface rotors $ 225.00 parts and labour. Worst case situation, Pads $79.00 X 2, Rotors $ 29.00 X2 rear and $39.00 X2 front, Caliper kits $20.00 X 4 and labour of $400.00 Brake fluid $25.00 total of $800.00 plus tax. This is what I would charge. There are shops that charge a lot more so look around and look for the ASE emblem
Midas charges $79.95 per axle so you would have a total of $159.90 to do the job as long as your rotors can be turned down and not need replaced.
