Brake pad replacement costs are not extremely expensive, but they're not cheap either. If you take your vehicle to the dealership, you can expect to pay anywhere from $200 to $350 per axle to have your brake pads replaced. If you do the job yourself, brake pads cost around $50 to $100 per axle. The job gets a little more expensive if you need additional parts like rotors. If your vehicle needs new rotors as well, then you can expect to add about another $300 to $400 per axle.
