Brake repair cost breakdown
- Pads only: $150 – $300 per axle
- Pads + rotors: $250 – $450 per axle
- Caliper replacement: $150 – $300 each
- Brake fluid flush: $90 – $140
- Brake hose: $120 – $220
Why rotors usually need replacing
Modern rotors are thin and run hot in North Texas stop-and-go traffic on I-635 and US-75. Resurfacing often leaves them too thin, so replacement is the safer, longer-lasting choice.
How to save on brakes
Replace pads when you first hear the squeal indicator — waiting until grinding turns a $200 job into a $450 job.
