Cost of Replacing Brake Pads in Toronto
If you need to replace your brakes, we advise getting in touch to evaluate your needs and service cost. Reputable car shops wouldn’t mind attending to you over the phone. It costs anywhere from $124-$230 to get new brake pads for each axle, with both axles going for $450 on the high end. Prices vary depending on the brand and type of brake pad you settle for, as well as the accompanying service fee.
Do I need to replace anything else?
Well, it depends. You may only need to replace the pads and rotors if everything else is fine. If you have problems with the brake fluid, the hydraulic system might be compromised and would also need attention. Brake fluid leaks could be caused by damaged wheel cylinders, brake lines, brake hoses or the master cylinder. It’s rare for all these components to be damaged at the same time, in which case replacement cost could climb over $1,000. More often than not, replacement costs won’t eclipse $200, so no need to fret. You might only need to replace a $25 hose to solve a fluid leak problem. In any case, you need a professional mechanic to know the extent of damage and associated repair cost.
What Brake Pads Should I go For?
We believe quality is safer, and serves cars longer. That’s why we always advise going for high-end hardware when carrying out a replacement service. So you ideally want to settle for high-quality brake pads from a reputable manufacturer. Premium brake pads provided premium braking power, make less noise and serve longer than OE parts. Among others, Wagner, Akebono, Part Source, Carquest, Brembo, and AC Delco are high-end brands to consider when cashing in on new brake hardware.
Factory or Aftermarket Brakes?
While brakes are key to safe driving, it’s good to know aftermarket picks wouldn’t necessarily compromise safety. So you may explore manufacturers with reputable aftermarket parts.
Do I have to wait long?
A typical front brake replacement service should only take an hour or thereabout. And rear brakes roughly 2 – 3 hrs.
