What changes the price
- The price covers one axle: pads, two rotors and hardware.
- Road salt rusts rotors, so many cars need new rotors at the same time as pads.
- Larger vehicles have bigger rotors and pads, which cost more.
- Dealerships use the carmaker's own parts and charge a higher hourly rate.
