Help With Brakes

[GullyBoy21]

(help) Its time to change the front brakes and the front left Rotor... Can you guys tell me the Average Price for this change. Also can you guys give me advise on saving money anything except doing it myself... Thank you for your time.

Are you talking parts & labor, or just labor?

you should probably replace both sides so they wear evenly...

replace both rotors ! if you replace only one then the clamping force is going to make the car pull hard when braking. i repeat it is a must to replace both rotors at the same time. replacing only one can cause some serious control issues under emergency/hard braking.

Thank you guys for the advise... I just got my brakes changed. Brakes and labor cost me $115.00 dollars at a shop. I think thats a sweet price.

How many miles are people getting on their front pads? I heard my brakes squeaking today, I've only got 17,000 miles and I am not hard on brakes. Hell, on my Contour it was over 100,000 miles before I needed brakes.

Squeaky ≠ worn out

That being said, I only got a little over 15K out of my front pads, but I track my car, and I would expect them to last substantially longer under "normal" conditions...

I can't put up with squeaky brakes, the pads might wind up getting replaced early if they keep it up!
