So, how much brake calipers cost varies a bit depending on the type of caliper your car needs. Front and rear calipers also usually have different price points. Here’s a quick breakdown of the average costs related to caliper replacement:
  • Front calipers: between $80 and $120 per caliper
  • Rear calipers: between $90 and $130 per caliper
  • Labor: between 1-3 hours per caliper at around $100 per hour
The total cost can fall along a very wide spectrum depending on which calipers you’re getting replaced. It’s a good idea to call the auto shop ahead of time and get a firm quote beforehand.
