Brake pad replacement typically runs $150–$300 per axle. Adding rotors brings that to $250–$500 per axle. Full brake jobs range from $500–$900+. We give you a written estimate before touching anything. Request an estimate here.

Most brake pads last 25,000–70,000 miles. City driving and Albany winters accelerate wear. We measure pad thickness at every state inspection and oil change.

No. Grinding means pads are completely worn through and metal is contacting your rotors. Do not drive the vehicle. Call us immediately at (518) 459-0099.

Most pad and rotor replacements take 2–4 hours. Simple pad-only replacement can be done in under 2 hours. Call (518) 459-0099 to check same-day availability.

Not necessarily. We measure all four and recommend replacement only for axles that need it. See our full FAQ page.

Yes. All brake repairs include a parts and labor warranty. If something isn't right, bring it back. Contact us any time.
