Brakes squealing.

Hi April,
It sounds like you need new brake pads. Replacing the brake pads on your car is cheap and easy especially if you can get away with just replacing the front ones. Here's what you can expect to pay on average:
Parts= $30-$80 depending on the quality of the pads.
Labor= 1-1.5 hours $50-$100 depending on the shop's hourly rate and the skill of the mechanic.
Total= $80-$180+
Replacing brake pads is on the easier side of an intermediate level fix, requires minimal tools, and a great way to get better acquainted with your Focus.
If you don't mind getting a little dirty, I suggest trying to do the repair yourself to save a bundle on labor costs.
Go online and do a little digging for a repair manual. There are sites where you can download one for free.
If you can't find one online, head over to your local auto parts wholesaler like AutoZone or NAPA. They should have a hard copy for about $25.
The repair manual will have detailed instructions and diagrams to walk you through the repair.
