How much does it cost to replace Shocks and Breaks on a Hyundai Santa Fe?

Question

My fiance says my shocks and breaks need to be replaced on my 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe. Any idea how much this is going to run me? Like $200? $500? $1000? I am stressing out over this, and Monday couldn't come fast enough for me to take it to the mechanic! I am really stressed out about this!

Answer 1

Brake Pads for all 4 axles will be about $50-100 for a quality brand.  Shocks/Struts will run you about $250-400 depending on the brand you choose.  Labor will be 4-5 hours at the typical $70-90 per hour.  So, a minimum of $700-1000 should cover both jobs.  You can find all these parts on http://www.tirerack.com http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/Suspt...

Since you have an older vehicle, I'd just go with the cheapest struts they have, a set of 4 KYB GR-2 Strut is only $228+ shipping.

Satisfied Pro Perform OEM Pads are $45 for both front and rear, I'd get them since they are OEM quality.
