Typical DFW brake prices
- Pads only: $150–$250 per axle
- Pads and rotors: $300–$450 per axle
- Caliper: $250–$500 each
- Brake fluid flush: $90–$150
- Brake hose: $120–$250
What affects the price?
Vehicle size, pad material (ceramic costs more than semi-metallic), whether rotors can be reused, electronic parking brakes that need a scan tool, and labor rates. Shops in Uptown Dallas and Southlake typically charge more than suburban shops.
Is mobile brake repair cheaper?
Often, yes. Mobile mechanics skip the overhead of a building and service bays, and you save time and rides.
Avoiding unnecessary upsells
Ask to see rotor thickness measurements and pad depth. Rotors above minimum spec without warping can often be reused.
