FixBrake Pad, Rotor and Caliper Replacement Cost
What owners actually paid
The shaded middle is where half of all these repairs landed: $476 – $910. The price on any one car depends on the vehicle — the table below shows the range for each.
What this repair is
When a caliper sticks or seizes it drags the pad against the rotor full-time, overheating and ruining both. That is why this repair travels as a trio: the seized caliper plus the pads and rotor it destroyed. It is the expensive end of brake work — and often the price of ignoring a grinding noise.

What moves the price
- One caliper or two — shops often replace calipers in pairs for even braking.
- Why the trio — a seized caliper destroys the pads and rotor — that's why they travel together.
- Electronic parking brake — rear calipers with integrated parking brakes cost more and need a service-mode tool.
Quotes near the low end usually mean one remanufactured caliper, economy friction parts. Quotes near the high end usually mean both calipers, premium parts, full fluid flush, rear parking-brake calipers.
