2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser Front Brake Pad Repair Estimate $70-$150

Front brakes grinding?

Hi Betsy,

It sounds like you need some new brake pads. Here's what you can expect to pay on average:

Parts= $20-$50 depending on the quality of the brake pads.

Labor= 1-1.5 hours $50-$100 depending on the shop's hourly rate and the skill of the mechanic.

Total= $70-$150

Replacing brake pads is an easier intermediate repair job that is a great way to get better acquainted with your PT Cruiser, and requires minimal tools. I suggest trying to do the replacement yourself to save you the money you would normally spend on labor.

Go online and do some digging for a PT Cruiser repair manual. You can usually find one to download for free on the web, or you can make a trip to your local parts wholesaler like AutoZone and NAPA where you can pick up a hard copy for no more than $25.

The manual will have detailed instructions and diagrams to walk you through the repair.
