How Much Are New Brakes?

So, how much does it cost to replace brake pads? The cost of brake pad replacement varies depending on your Honda year, make, and model. The average cost for brake pad replacement is about $150 per axle, but the price can range from $100 to $300 per axle. 

The least expensive brake pads are usually made from organic materials, and higher-end composite brake pads are made with more robust materials, such as metal. Composite brake pads provide more heat resistance and generally last longer on Cody roads. The cost of new brake pads also varies from one dealership to the next dealership.

Brakes vs. Brake Pads: Is There a Difference? 

Laurel drivers often ask us at Underriner Honda if there is a difference between brakes and brake pads. Even though the terms “brakes” and “brake pads” are often used interchangeably, there are distinct differences between the meanings:

  • Brakes refer to the entire brake system, including the brake pads, rotors, discs, calipers, master cylinder, and more. If you need more than one component fixed, the price of repairs goes up accordingly.
  • Brake pads are just one part of the brake system. They apply pressure to the brake rotors or discs to help stop the vehicle. 

How Long Do Brake Pads Last?

The average lifespan of most brake pads is between 40,000 to 50,000 miles. Many different things impact how long your brake pads will last, such as the way you drive on Red Lodge streets. If you are in the habit of braking suddenly, you’re putting unnecessary strain on the brake pads, and they will undoubtedly wear out faster. If you coast to a stop slowly without slamming on the brakes, your brake pads will last much longer.
