Most shops charge anywhere between $200-$275 to machine rotors and replace one set of pads per axle. While inexpensive, the caveat here is that, first, the shops will only be temporarily solving the problem by machining the rotors, and second, they typically repair with low-grade brake pads—this approach is not a long-term solution, it’s a ...
