i own a repair shop,and this usually runs around 80 bucks parts and labor all included and that's using real good shoes also,and turning the drums or rotors on it,but that's a good price,,you can use this price to help save you some money on the repair,,good luck with it,i hope this help,s,,have a safe and good x-mas.

pads? or drums?, in the rear, miles? if less than 90,000 on vehicle, take rear drums off and blow the brake dust out and clean them while your in there and put drums back on and see if they still squeak. if so about $100. in any shop. try cleaning them first the general rule is rear drum brakes need done about every third time you change front pads. it depends soley on if you drive alot of city or alot of highway miles. be careful though if drum shoes, new shoes for drums are only a little over a 1/4 " thick brand new. they only wear when you apply brakes. not like pads where they wear at all times especially when applying brakes. so if they still have lining on them, depends could last a lot of miles still... lol

The squeak may be a wear indicator. You need to have it checked out.
As far as cost goes, it can vary quite a bit. Do you have drum or disc brakes? If they're disc, the tech will look at the rotors, calipers, and pads. Those parts can be expensive.
If they're drum brakes, you just have the shoe and the drum. Not a lot of work, so it is a lot cheaper.

On a regular car usually around 89.00 to repair but much higher if your driving a heavy duty truck such as a f-350 ton truck.

If you figure on $150 to do the job you will be in the ball park.
