Is your quote fair?
A quote between $388 and $773 is inside the band where half of all Gmc Sierra 1500 brake pad and rotor replacements landed. Below it is not automatically a bargain (economy pads and rotors, hardware reused); above it is not automatically gouging (premium or coated rotors, both axles done together, seized hardware or a sticking caliper found on the way) — but both ends deserve a question.
What moves the price
One axle or both — the typical job is one axle; doing both roughly doubles it.
Part grade — coated rotors and ceramic pads cost more and last longer.
Vehicle size — truck and SUV rotors are bigger and pricier than compact-car parts.
Caliper condition — a sticking caliper found during the job adds a part and time.
