Repair Costs

29 record(s) found

This section shows repairs you may want to perform on your vehicle and its estimated costs

Wheels - Alignment

$0 - $0 in parts

• $122 - $166 in labor

Alignment is the process of making sure all 4 wheels point in the same direction, which will cause the vehicle to drive straight and not drift. Performing this service regularly (yearly or after the vehicle starts drifting) will extend the life of your tires. Alignment is measured in degrees of camber (tire leaning inward or outward), caster (forward or backward slope of steering components in relation to the McPherson struts) and toe (the direction the tires are pointing). Toe-in means that the tires are pointing inward; toe-out means that the tires are pointing outward. Most vehicles are “averaged” for everyday driving.

Battery - Replace

$145 - $195 in parts

• $77 - $106 in labor

Diamonds may be forever, but batteries are not. A car battery lasts approximately 3-4 years – or less in regions with high heat and humidity. A key sign of pending failure could be sluggish starting cycle. Many mechanics suggest having a battery “load tested” once every two years, in an attempt to predict just how much life may be left in your battery.

Brake Fluid - Flush Fluid & Bleed Brakes

$57 - $78 in parts

• $87 - $119 in labor

Air in the brake lines can create a spongy feeling when you apply the brakes. Bleeding the brake lines usually removes the air, but it isn’t a job for the faint of heart. Better left to professionals, newer ABS braking systems require specialized equipment to complete the job.

Brakes - Replace Pads & Rotors

$209 - $283 in parts

• $171 - $232 in labor

Please note: Pricing shown is for either front brakes or rear brakes. Made of ceramic, organic or metallic material, brake pads squeeze against the brake disc rotors to slow the vehicle down. Every time you apply the brakes, the pads wear down a tiny bit. Eventually a wear indicator starts squeaking to tell you it’s time to replace the brake pads.  A mechanic can examine brake pad thickness during a tire rotation or other service. Sometimes you feel a vibration while applying the brakes. That’s a sign that you may need to  resurface or  replace the brake rotors. Resurfacing a brake rotor will extend the life of the rotors by grinding a tiny amount of the metal surface area away to remove any irregularities or other imperfections that have cropped up over time. After a while, the entire brake rotor may need replacement if it has become too thin (through repeated grindings) or warped from variations in temperature. Don’t delay, as brakes are probably one of the most critical safety devices on your vehicle, right up there with seat belts. 

Brakes - Replace Pads

$122 - $164 in parts

• $149 - $202 in labor

Brakes - Replace Pads & Resurface Rotors

$110 - $149 in parts

• $165 - $223 in labor

Brakes - Replace Rotors

$144 - $194 in parts

• $118 - $160 in labor

Please note: Pricing shown is for either front brakes or rear brakes. Sometimes you feel a vibration while applying the brakes. That’s a sign that you may need to resurface or replace the brake rotors. Resurfacing a brake rotor will extend the life of the rotors by grinding a tiny amount of the metal away, to remove irregularities or other imperfections that have cropped up over time. After a while, the entire brake rotor may need to be replaced if it has become too thin (through repeated grindings) or warped from variations in temperature. Don’t delay, as brakes are one of the most critical safety devices on your vehicle, right up there with seat belts.

Brakes - Resurface Rotors

$0 - $0 in parts

• $132 - $178 in labor

Please note: Pricing shown is for either front brakes or rear brakes. Sometimes you feel a vibration while applying the brakes. That’s a sign that you may need t resurface the brake rotors. Resurfacing extends the life of the rotors by grinding a tiny amount of the metal surface area away, to remove any irregularities or other imperfections that have cropped up over time.

Cabin Air Filter - Replace

$24 - $33 in parts

• $36 - $50 in labor

Modern heating and air conditioning systems in cars use an in-cabin air filter to help purify the air and eliminate outside odors. Consult your owner’s manual or maintenance schedule for how often it should be changed. For convenience, you might consider having the cabin air filter changed in conjunction with other routine maintenance.

Coolant - Flush

$38 - $52 in parts

• $114 - $154 in labor

Periodically flushing the engine coolant can help keep contaminants that clog the radiator’s cooling element from building up. A clogged radiator could make the engine run hot, cause premature wear and even lead to engine failure. Fresh coolant also contains inhibitors that will keep the entire cooling system clean from rust, which could cause leaks in the radiator. Typically, you should flush and replace the coolant every 30,000 miles or five years, whichever comes first.

Engine Diagnostics - Check Engine Light

$0 - $0 in parts

• $209 - $282 in labor

Diagnostics are periodic checks of the system operations of your car, truck or SUV that can give you a quick window into your vehicle’s health. A mechanic performs diagnostics by plugging into a receptacle under the dashboard to access the On Board Diagnostics (OBD-II) tool or by tapping into a system like General Motors’ OnStar.

Differential Fluid - Flush

$46 - $63 in parts

• $69 - $93 in labor

In addition to wheels, a vehicle’s drive axle includes a differential unit, which uses gears to synchronize the rate at which the wheels rotate. When your vehicle turns, the inside wheels don’t need to make as many rotations as the outside wheels, which have a greater distance to cover. The differential helps keep the axle from binding up from this difference in turning rates. A thin coat of oil lubricates these gears, and that oil needs to be changed from time to time. Your owner’s manual or maintenance minder will tell you when to replace it. If the oil becomes contaminated or the level drops too low, the gears could be damaged, which would lead to a more expensive repair or replacement.

Engine Belt - Replace

$79 - $108 in parts

• $119 - $161 in labor

Several types of engine belts need to be replaced from time to time. Vehicles from 1990 and newer typically have a serpentine belt. The belt snakes around the pulleys located at the front of the engine (or the side of a transverse-mounted engine) and drives multiple accessories including the alternator, power steering pump and air conditioning compressor. If it is squeaking or worn, it could break, which would make the engine inoperable. Check it at 60,000 miles but change it before 100,000 miles. Older vehicles usually have separate belts for the water pump, alternator, radiator fan and air conditioning system, but when they break, you still may be able to get home. Finally, engine timing belts help to keep the camshaft and crankshaft in sync so that pistons and valves operate in sync. They typically last from 60,000 to 90,000 miles. A broken timing belt could result in engine damage and an expensive rebuild.

Engine Air Filter - Replace

$21 - $30 in parts

• $21 - $30 in labor

The engine air filter helps trap dirt and debris before it can enter the engine. Typically, you should change the engine air filter every 30,000 to 45,000 miles, but if you’re in a dusty, dirty region, cut these distances in half.

Fuel Filter - Replace

$45 - $61 in parts

• $83 - $113 in labor

The fuel filter is positioned in the line leading from the gas tank to the engine and prevents containments from getting inside the engine, which could lead to a loss in performance and potential damage to the cylinder lining. Older cars may need their filters replaced as often as every two years and 30,000 miles; newer vehicles could go as long as 50,000 miles before needing the filter changed. Consult your owner’s manual for more information.

Fuel Injector - Service

$101 - $137 in parts

• $188 - $256 in labor

Changing from carburetors to fuel injection systems has made fuel delivery more precise. But every now and then the system needs to be flushed, cleaned and restored. Servicing your fuel injection system helps to remove waxy build-up & deposits and cleans the intake valves, cylinder heads and fuel delivery lines. This results in an extended engine life, improved performance, and better fuel economy. Most modern engines suggest fuel injector service at 60,000 miles, unless a specific problem crops up. Check your owner’s manual to know for sure with your car. If you notice a certain sluggishness in acceleration and a decrease in fuel economy, it might mean it’s time for a fuel injector service. Your local dealership service department performs this job every day. Contact them for more information.

Intake Manifold Gasket - Replace

$84 - $113 in parts

• $383 - $518 in labor

The intake manifold gasket is an aluminized piece of steel coated in a carbonized rubber formula that provides a seal between the intake manifold and the engine’s cylinder head. It ensures proper engine manifold pressure, which is needed to maintain power. Intake manifold gaskets are able to withstand deterioration caused by coolants, oils and other fluids. They are also designed to resist long-term bouts of constant temperature fluctuation from starting and stopping the engine. But after many miles and years of service, the material may wear out, resulting in pressure and coolant leakage and causing the engine to run rough and overheat. A mechanic will replace the intake manifold gasket by removing all components above the cylinder heads that may obscure the gasket from removal. Once they have removed it, the mounting surface is cleaned and resurfaced, and the gasket is replaced.

Tire(s) - Mount & Balance (4 Wheels)

$0 - $0 in parts

• $196 - $266 in labor

Just getting a new tire doesn’t always result in a smooth ride. Because of manufacturing and mounting irregularities, tires need to be balanced by adding counter-balancing weights to certain parts of the wheel.

Oil Change

$34 - $46 in parts

• $34 - $46 in labor

An oil change is the act of replacing the oil and oil filter in your car, truck or SUV’s crankcase. Oil has a limited life span and should be changed according to the maintenance schedule in your Owner’s Manual. Many modern vehicles use synthetic motor oil that can stretch the time/mileage interval to as long as 12,000 miles/12 months.

Power Steering Fluid - Flush

$54 - $72 in parts

• $65 - $89 in labor

Modern cars, trucks and SUVs all use power steering to make maneuvering effortless. The power steering system uses a pump and hydraulic pressure to assist the steering gears. Power steering fluid is designed to last for as long as 100,000 miles, but the system may leak or the fluid may become exhausted before then. Follow the recommendation from your owner’s manual to see when it’s time to flush the power steering fluid. A mechanic will flush the system by removing dark, discolored power steering fluid and refilling it with fresh fluid, while an assistant turns the steering wheel from left to right to get old fluid out of the system. When the remaining fluid appears like fresh fluid, the system has been successfully flushed. Remove the remaining fluid, refill with fresh power steering fluid and your vehicle should be good for another 100,000 miles.

Spark Plugs - Replace

$117 - $158 in parts

• $177 - $239 in labor

Spark plugs ignite the fuel mixture in the engine, providing the power to make your car go. Sitting atop your engine’s cylinder head, it receives a spark from the electronic ignition in modern vehicles, or the distributor cap and rotor found in older cars. Eventually, at around 30,000 miles to as high as 40,000 miles, conventional spark plugs will wear out, which could cause stalling, starting problems and engine misfires. Higher-cost platinum-tipped spark plugs may not need to be replaced as often. At the same time, it might be appropriate to replace your oxygen sensor, spark plug wires, PCV valve and fuel filter.

Timing Belt - Replace

$324 - $438 in parts

• $486 - $658 in labor

Critical to the operation of your vehicle, the timing belt synchs the operations of the camshaft and the crankshaft so that the valves operate efficiently and safely. Older cars may have a timing chain, similar to a chain on a motorcycle, with a life cycle of around 60,000 miles. Newer models use timing belts made of polyurethane and Kevlar for long life and durability. They can go as long as 100,000 miles although it’s always a good idea to change it before then. Belt failure can cause extensive damage to the valves, pistons and other internal parts of the engine. The cost of changing the timing belt is a bargain when you consider the cost to replace the entire engine. Start thinking about changing the timing belt once you cross the 90,000-mile threshold. Check your owner’s manual for details.

Tire(s) - Patch

$16 - $22 in parts

• $25 - $33 in labor

A flat tire doesn’t necessarily mean that the tire needs replacement. Patching and plugging kits can fix holes in tires caused by small sharp objects like nails and screws. Patching the tire uses an internal patch to cover the opening and requires the tire to be removed from the rim. A plug fixes a hole externally, so in some cases, the tire doesn’t need to be taken off.

Tire(s) - Rotate

$0 - $0 in parts

• $35 - $48 in labor

Done every 5,000 miles or so, a tire rotation is the act of moving tires around your car, truck or SUV so the tires wear evenly. Some vehicles have “staggered” tire sizes, meaning that the fronts are smaller than the rears. In this case, they can only be rotated from left to right (or vice versa). Some high-performance tires shouldn’t be rotated at all, since they’re made to turn in one direction only (usually indicated by an arrow on the tire’s sidewall). As always, consult your owner’s manual for more information.

Tire(s) - Rotate & Balance (4 Wheels)

$0 - $0 in parts

• $90 - $121 in labor

Done every 5,000 miles or so, a tire rotation is the act of moving tires around the vehicle so they have the opportunity to wear evenly. Some vehicles use “staggered” tire sizes meaning the fronts are smaller than the rears. In this case, they can only be rotated from left to right (and vice versa).  Some high-performance tires shouldn’t be rotated at all, since they’re made to turn in one direction only (usually indicated by an arrow on the tire’s sidewall). As always, consult your owner’s manual for more information. Mounting new tires or rotating existing ones doesn’t always result in a smooth ride. Because of manufacturing and mounting irregularities, tires need to be balanced by adding counter-balancing weights to certain parts of the wheel.

Transmission Fluid - Flush

$103 - $138 in parts

• $125 - $170 in labor

Most new vehicles are equipped with an automatic transmission. As a result, there's not really much maintenance to perform. Still, most owner’s manuals will recommend changing the transmission fluid every 90,000 miles or so. Flushing your transmission’s fluid has fallen out of vogue in recent years because the high-pressure cleaning involved may dislodge debris inside the transmission that can literally gum up the works. By following your vehicle’s maintenance schedule, your car’s gearbox will offer years of trouble-free driving. For more information check with your owner’s manual and your dealership service advisor.

Water Pump - Replace

$196 - $266 in parts

• $364 - $492 in labor

The water pump is an essential component that keeps the coolant circulating, a critical role in ensuring that the engine maintains the proper operating temperature. Without coolant being circulated, the engine will overheat, leading to premature wear and damage. A failing water pump can also leak causing further loss of coolant. Water pumps are designed to last at least 100,000 miles, however, if your water pump fails, you should replace it with a high-quality original-equipment level unit. Less expensive replacement pumps are available, but they might only have a service life of 30,000 miles.

Wheel Locks - Install

$49 - $67 in parts

• $21 - $29 in labor

Designed to prevent the theft of your vehicle’s expensive rims, lug nut wheel locks are a relatively inexpensive way to at least slow down the bad guys. The unfortunate truth is that if someone really wants them, they will probably get them. The object of the wheel lock is to prevent or at least slow that process down. Typically, a set of wheel locks will include four locks (one lock per wheel) and at least one key to put the wheel locks on and off. Remember where you put the key and also to never over-torque the wheel lock to the lug nut.

Wiper Blades - Replace 1 Front Wiper

$30 - $40 in parts

• $8 - $10 in labor

Consider them part of the vehicle’s safety equipment: If you can’t see through the windshield, you are likely putting yourself, your family and your vehicle at risk. You should aim to replace your wiper blades every six months to a year, due to the toll they take from extreme heat and humidity, which work to cut down the useful life of your blades.
