Toyota Corolla Brakes make Grinding noise?

The vehicle was checked by professional garage mechanic.

The mechanic indicated problem with brake pads.The pads needs to be replaced.The rotors needs Re-surfaced in front and System needs to be flushed with rear side needs inspection and adjustment.

What should be the Labor cost.

Approx cost should be under $600 for this Brake grinding noise repairs.

I will give part by part breakout cost for repair and labor.

If the the "diagnosis" of the problem sounds correct.

Then the front brake pads sell for around $58. The price for resurfacing of rotors varies from shop to shop, but the average is around $15-$25 per rotor. The labor time guide calls for a little over 2 hours to complete the front brake job (this includes the resurfacing time/labor). The adjustment to the rears calls for a little under an hour to adjust both sides. And the system flush also varies from shop to shop, but the average is anywhere from $80-$120 (this usually includes labor and fluid). Labor rates vary from shop to shop,
For a job of this type, a "fair" labor rate can by anywhere from $85-$125 per hour. Shop around, and find a reputable shop that warranty their parts and labor. So, using worst case scenarios with all the highest labor rates above, I get a total of a little over $560.So you can expect the repair cost with parts and labor will be under $600.
Get the fault complete cleared.Ask the mechanic to use branded and parts with warranty.Get proper repair and service bill.Test drive will slow and on highway speeds.

This details will help.
Thanks.

Dodge RAM Cab: Brake pedal loose after replacing Brake Calipers?

Tried Bleeding brakes but brake pedal gets loose or gets stuck up.All started after replacing Brake caliper.

Yes this is common.

Its not problem with brake bleeding procedure.

But the problem mostly lies in brake caliper.

The first thing is to check the placement of the caliper bleeder screws on the front calipers. They are supposed to be at the top of the caliper, above the brake hose to caliper connection:

See the help Diagram shown below:----
caliper image

If they are towards the bottom or facing the bottom, then the calipers are on the wrong sides. When bleeder is at the bottom, there is an air pocket at top of caliper that will never bleed out. Swap sides with calipers and rebleed and you are good to go.

This details will help.
Thanks.

Spongy brake pedal?

Many car users drivers complaint about this issue.That Spongy brake pedal,the pedal gets very soft,its like very soft/spongy feel when brake is applied.
If the pedal feels "soft" or "spongy" instead of firm, there's probably air in the system. This will require "bleeding the brakes" to remove air from the lines.
With a spongy pedal, you'll probably feel the need to pump the brake pedal to get good stopping ability. The complaint may also be described as a soft pedal. This problem is caused by air in the hydraulic system. Although bleeding the system may remove the air, you should always question how the air got in there. Check for leaks and for proper master cylinder operation.

Getting this possibilities checked/inspected will help.

If you need dis-assembly or replacement instructions for any other auto/car part, or you want to ask question related to your car/truck jeep problem then please leave the comment with your details, so I can provide you the required instructions and solutions.
