localshops will charge ~1hr/axle for a "complete" brake job where they'll re-surface/breakdown/grease caliper pins, whatever your local labor rate is + parts.

A place that just does a quicky job to swaps in new pads may charge half of that, maybe $50/axle

Depends on the dealership. Mine charges $130 an hour and the estimate for new pads with resurfacing is about $350.00.

go independent... there is nothing complicated about our brake jobs... buy oem pads from one of our many online vendors though. Use the money you saved to upgrade your ride with some NOS stickers....

probably $400 per axle at the dealer. I did my front & rears myself with all new oem pads, shims, clips and bought new oem front rotors only for about $350 in parts. also flushed fluid with ate blue.
