i went to pep boys and they told me i need to fix my front brakes. they told me i have about 30% left on my front brakes and i should change it today. so i was like okay how much does cost to fix it? and they go $450.... are you serious? i mean if i have 30% left on my brakes i dont even have to change rotors right? is it cost that much to just fix pads? where should i go to get the cheapest and reliable job done?Front brake on 03 hyundai tiburon?A lot of shops (WANT) to replace pads, rotors, calipers even if some are not in bad shape, their reason is if you replace all you will brakes like the day it was made.

Ask how thick the lining is - usually they start about 12mm and time for new when they get to 3-5mm.
I guess it would cost about 90 labor (1 hr)- depending on your area and maybe 80-160 in parts.
