Brake Overhaul

Hey People,
I am in need of some help. Wondering if anyone has any clue on how much it would cost for a complete brake job on a 99 Civic SE/DX, the cars been sitting for almost a year now, and got er fired up on the weekend and no brakes. I am in Ontario, any help would be appreciated, both professional service and DIY costs would be amazing.

Thanks In Advance Folks

Chris

Re: Brake Overhaul

For front and back including drums, pads and rotors no more than $200. Premium rotors at advanced auto parts are $100 for a set, pads are $38 a set, drums are about $50 a set.

What color is the brake fluid? If you're doing brakes all the way around I'd bleed the system. Depending on how mechanically inclined you are (and if you have a buddy who can help you) I'd just do it yourself. It's not hard as long as you follow the bleed sequence. If not, I'd estimate a reputable mechanic charging about 2 hours worth of labor (maybe 3) including the bleeding. So with parts and labor, I'd say you're in the $450 range.
