Cost To Change Brake Pads

I just went for my inspection NY. They wanted me to pay $ 600.00 to change my brakes and rotors. I drive a 2003 Ford Explorer. Does that sound correct?

Who is "they"? According fordparts.com, front brake pads for your 2003 Cost $ 97.49US Explorer (part number 4L2Z-2001-BA) and front brake discs cost $ 89.67US each (part number 4L2Z-1125-AA). So if you do the math here is $ 276.83US parts only. Since you mention NY, I'm assuming that the rate of activity in this area go for about $ 100.00US per hour. In general, most dealers pay their technicians 1.5 hours to replace the front brake pads and brake rotors. That means at $ 150.00US $ 276.83US more equivalent to about $ 426.83US plus tax. This does not seem too far from the $ 600 you are quoted if you add in taxes Hope this helps.

you can do yourself three or four times that price ... $ 25 front pads rear rotors vary about the same .. Call any automotive parts store and get a price for parts and you'll see .. mostly a job for the brake pads just start at about $ 100 which is high knowing what I know I do all my self maybe a few hundred, but it sounds .. High call a few places ..... ask how to replace front pads and rotors and alll .... back to hardy ever needed now, if you do not need rotors of time unless you do have them they were worn or grinding .. you can watch the price of autozone.com

I think that's true ... because I believe that you have 4 rotors! front and rear. I just paid $ 320 to change my discs and it was just on the parts and I only have 2 rotors. So I think it's around the price. Look up the price of your brake pads and rotors like autozone.com and add the cost of the repair is something like $ 50 dollers per hour. which should be a HR maybe 1 1 / 2 hours tops!

Umm wow rotors (those of sports) are about $ 250 for 2003 Ford Explorer. And the pads are about $ 85. which is a crazy amount to pay that simple of a job. I want to buy parts and find a friend who is somwhat mechicaly talanted. it's so easy. im 16 and I can do.

Rip Off! If you can find someone to do the brakes and rotors for you to do. Auto Zone has the best price for these types of parts. Only paid $ 130.00 for brakes and rotors there and $ 80.00 for the work of the person to do so.
