All About Honda Brakes

Parts of a Brake System

They include a master cylinder, seals, pistons, fluid (in a reservoir), a booster with a diaphragm, a pedal, lines, hoses, and a parking brake. If the brakes are anti-lock, they will also include an ABS sensor. In Honda models with disc brakes, you'll find calipers, rotors and pads, too. In Honda models with drum brakes, on the other hand, you'll find drums and shoes.

How Much Honda Brake Replacement Costs on Average

That depends on the part, and on whether you have work done at a Honda dealer. Brake calipers, for instance, can run $760 to $830, according to recent data from RepairPal, while brake rotors may run $325 to $415 and brake pads might run $270 to $315. Brake drums and brake shoes can both run $265 to $305. Cost also depends on the model you drive. Honda Accord brake caliper and brake pad replacement, for instance, can run $1,000 or more and $240 plus, respectively.

How Long Honda Factory Brakes Can Last

This also depends on the part, but how you drive and in what conditions can factor in, too. Generally, you should:

Replace brake calipers every 50,000 to 100,000 miles
Replace brake rotors every 70,000 miles
Replace brake pads every 40,000 to 50,000 miles
