When it’s time to replace your brakes, the last thing you want is sticker shock — or worse, getting hit with hidden fees after you’ve already committed.

At Max Advanced Brakes, we believe you should know exactly what you're paying for — and exactly what you're getting.

Here’s the real breakdown so you can protect your wallet and your confidence on the road.

Typical Brake Replacement Costs (Front or Rear Axle)

Multiply by two for full front + rear brake jobs.

Total Expected Range: $700–$1,500 depending on your vehicle, parts, and labor rates.

Hidden Fees That Drive Up the Bill (And How to Avoid Them)

• Shop Supply Fees: 5–10% “environmental” or “miscellaneous” fees, often undisclosed upfront.
• Brake Hardware "Extras": Charging separately for clips, pins, or anti-rattle kits that should be standard.
• Cheap Parts, High Markups: Low-grade pads or rotors used to maximize shop profits.
• Surprise Labor Add-Ons: Adjustments or "needed repairs" quoted after the job starts.

What a Proper Brake Replacement Should Always Include

• Premium brake pads matched to your vehicle.
• High-quality rotors (smooth, drilled, or slotted as needed).
• Full hardware kit installation (clips, shims, guide pins).
• Labor to replace pads, rotors, and hardware.
• Caliper cleaning and lubrication.
• Clear warranty on parts and labor.

No games. No hidden extras. No "surprise" services.
