What is the estimated cost to replace the front pads and rotors on a 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier? The car was squeaking and this is what Midas said needed to be replaced.

What would be the cost to do it yourself, and how difficult would it be?

update: 2nd shop estimated $265

update: Midas now says $283

Answer 1

Depends on the quality of the parts purchased. Off shore rotors and cheapie pads will run around $60. Higher quality around $110. for just the parts. Labour should be about 1 hour of what ever the shop rate is where you live. If you do it yourself make sure you service the caliper sliding mechanism. Most DIYers ignore this and end up with brake pulsation problems.

Rotors could be became in the event that they are thick adequate for sort of $12 each or new/reman rotors for sort of $25 each. Pads could be everywhere from $10-$50 a collection finding on the place you get them and what sort you get. hard paintings will selection finding on whether you get a outdoors mechanic or a shop. better parent on $50 -$a hundred for hard paintings.
