What Affects the Cost
- Vehicle type — SUVs and luxury vehicles have larger, more expensive brake components
- Brake disc condition — badly warped or scored discs must be replaced, not skimmed
- OEM vs aftermarket parts — OEM costs more but matches factory specifications exactly
- Whether rear drum brakes are involved (older vehicles) — different labour requirements
- ABS system complexity — modern ABS with electronic parking brake costs more to service
- Condition of brake lines and hoses — corroded lines may need replacement
Labour vs Parts
Labour
Brake labour is typically 1–3 hours depending on the work. Labour accounts for about 30% of a typical brake job. We use proper torque specs and bed-in procedures.
Parts
Brake parts account for about 70% of the cost. We use trusted brands — never cheap pads that squeal or dust excessively. Quality parts mean longer life and better performance.
