This guy at work wants me to do his front brakes. How much should I charge him for the labor?

if he buys the parts, and it is easy for you do it then ask for a case of beer, or cover for you at work so u can have a long week end. abd if you drink the beer while fixing his breaks ask him to sign a liability waver form for you.

Just remember if he has an accident any time after you work on his brakes, he might feel that you might be responsible, so call a store and see what they charge and see if half of that is worth the trouble or the risk

I use to do work for family and good friends for free (didn't want to overcharge, then it was such a small charge so why charge anything) then I was always busy doing free work so now I don't do anything more than a bulb!! just give free advice

Kato is right... too little and everyone will be after you to do theirs. Get at least 50 and a case of beer.
Ok, 30 and a case of beer for just fronts for a friend.
Ok, a real good friend, a case of beer.

$7-$15 a wheel depending on where you live??
but the rule for friend labor is as much as you can get and still
be cool after work is done.

Dude, find out how much the cheapest place in town will do it for, the charge a little less.

Depends on what you do. Do the rotors need to be turned? Do you flush the fluid? If you do it right, you should charge around 75 bucks.
