What this repair is

Brake pads are the wear item of your braking system; rotors are the discs the pads clamp onto. They wear together, and shops usually replace them together — worn rotors chew up new pads and cause vibration and noise. A typical job covers pads and rotors on one axle (usually the front), hardware, and a road test.

Is your quote fair?

If your quote lands between $366 and $703, it's inside the range where half of all real Jeep Grand Cherokee repairs of this kind land — and the typical job takes about 2 hours of labor. Quotes well below aren't automatically good news (economy parts, or related work skipped) and quotes above aren't automatically gouging (trim variants, premium parts, seized hardware) — but both ends deserve questions.
