How much should I expect to pay for new pads/rotors (brakes) on my 2003...

...Pontiac Grand Am?
Unfortunitly I do not have the skills to do it myself. So this will have to be done at my dealership.

Bring your car to your local High School that has an Automotive class. You will only have to pay for the cost of parts and you can be sure that the instructor will hand the car back to you in working condition.
Otherwise it will cost you from $200.00 to $1000.00

call the dealer and ask what the hourly rate is plus parts

Oh Oh, Can't you find a private mechanic to do your work? Although genuine AC-Delco ceramic brakes and AC-Delco rotors are among the best they're going to charge you list price for their parts plus the labor of doing the job. You can expect to pay a Pontiac or Chevrolet dealership $700.00+ for a job that should cost no more than $420.00

Why not line up a private mechanic who will except even better EBC slotted and dimpled brake rotors and Bendix CQ-3 ceramic brake pads which are both less expensive. autopartswarehouse.com has these products - no shipping or sales tax charges!

I just installed both of these products on my personal 99 Pontiac Grand Prix. No dust or dirt from ceramic brake pads.

Wish you had a few simple hand tools as it's too simple to hire some BS artist to install off-shore crappy rotors and terrible dirty metallic or semi-metallic brake pads.

300-800 or more since you will new rotors, i have an acura legend and rotors for my car are 115 each, and pads are cheap about 30, then you need to take into consideration if you need calipers as well, and those can be cheap or spendy, but one thing that you have to realize is that there is a mark up on all part and then there is labor you would be better off asking a buddy to help you if you bought the parts and offered a case of beer

There's no guarantee that you'll need new rotors; my rotors needed a light turn, and the brake job cost $180 using AC Delco pads. I too, have a GA.

Find a reputable mechanic and or/shop, and check the labor rate. Mine is $80 per hour, and worth every penny.

Bringing a box of donuts when you come to pick it up goes over HUGELY next time you're in, too. Go figure.
