It would be difficult to place a specific cost for this work since having this done in New York City would cost way more than say, Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Still, brake jobs are pretty standard fare so lots of places do this type of work.

Drag out the yellow pages and start making some calls asking what they charge for a rear brake job, possibly including turning/replacing rotors. After a few calls, you will start getting an idea of what your mechs in your area are charging. Generally, independent shops will be less expensive than dealerships. Also, remember, lowest price is not always the best. If you can muster the time and effort, visit a few locations and talk to the owner/manager.

Another possibility - maybe, is to consider doing this yourself. IF (big if) you have some tools, some experience and a strong desire to get some dirt under your nails, this job is very doable by DIYers. It is more than an oil change but less than say, swapping driveaxles or something.

Good luck!

Usually between one to one and a half hour of labor costs which is $60-100 per hour depending on mechanic and about $150 in parts if you get original equipment.
