2008 GMC Sahara Brake Pad Replacement $110-$200(0)
Brake noise?
A.S. Lineberger
Hi A.S. Lineberger,
It sounds like you need some new brake pads. Here's what you can expect to pay on average:
Parts= $60-$100 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= $110-$200
Replacing brake pads is an easier intermediate repair job that is a great way to get better acquainted with your Sahara, and requires minimal tools. I suggest trying to do the replacement yourself to save you the money you would normally spend on labor.

Girl vs. car: Why let Johnny Attendant fix it when you can just as easily?
When I turned 16, my mother gave me some advice for handling minor car repairs: Put on a nice dress, do your make up, walk into the store and find some guy who will happily ring you up for whatever you need and then walk you out to your car and fix it for you.
I pulled this stunt earlier this year when my car battery died, and honestly, watching the AutoZone clerk use no more thought in that task than I had when I applied my mascara that morning left me feeling like being taken care of had both pros and cons. So when my wiper blades started to just smear the dirt around, I decided it was time to try on a little feminist empowerment and elbow grease.
My Battery is Dead. How Do I Jumpstart A Car?

You hop into your car, turn the key in the ignition and nothing happens. How many of us have had this happen? A dead battery.
How do you jump start a car?
Once you determine the battery is dead, the car needs a jump start. Now there are several reasons why the battery may have gone dead e.g. light left on overnight or an old battery that needs to be replaced. Anyway, it is easy to jump start a car using jumper cables or a portable jump starter.
LADIES BE SURE YOUR PRINCE CHARMING CAN CHANGE A TIRE
Tonight is the night after months of chatting online, the first date.
The sleek black convertible pulls up into her drive way, top down ready for a night out. Tall, dark and handsome is walking up to her door with a bouquet of white roses. The moon is full with an amazing orange, they cruise along a remote country road, Sinatra singing “Summer Wind.” He was just about to reach over to take her hand.
Out of nowhere, the smooth tunes of Sinatra are replaced with the thumping noise of a flat tire.
