What changes the price
- The type of shop matters. Dealerships charge a higher hourly rate and use the carmaker's own parts, so they land at the top of the range.
- Labour rates in Mississauga are a factor. Independent shops here charge among the highest hourly rates in Ontario, which can narrow the gap with other shops.
- Your vehicle changes the price. A compact car is usually the cheapest to do, and a luxury or European model is usually the most expensive.
- Larger vehicles have bigger pads and rotors, and those parts cost more.
- Road salt rusts rotors, so many cars need new rotors along with the pads. A quote for pads alone may not hold up once the rotors are checked.
At an independent shop in Peel and Halton, the typical job is about 1.5 hours of labour at around $142 an hour, plus about $280 in parts.

Questions drivers ask
Can rotors be resurfaced instead of replaced?
Sometimes, but only if the rotors are thick enough and not badly rusted or warped. Salt rust is common on Ontario cars, which is why many need new rotors. Ask the shop to show you the rotor measurement and the minimum thickness for your vehicle.
Should I replace front and rear brakes together?
Not always. Front and rear brakes wear at different rates, so one axle can need work while the other is fine. Ask the shop to inspect both axles and tell you how much wear is left on each. Your owner's manual may also list service guidance.
Why are rear brakes sometimes more expensive?
It depends on the vehicle. Some rear brakes have a parking brake mechanism built in, which can add labour or parts. This page covers the front axle only, so ask for a written estimate that lists the rear job separately.
