I just took my car to the local chevy dealer. I have some noise coming from my front brakes. They said the front drivers side caliper was broke and needed replaced. He quoted me a price of around 250. Does this sound reasonable? Havent had a chance to call other brake stores in town. Any help is appreciated.

it doesn't sound TOO bad, but if you are at all mechanically inclined, do it yourself for the price of a caliper. They're really easy to replace. Just make sure you replace the pads in the other side as well.

That seems a bit high, but you did say it was the dealer.

Two years ago I had both calipers and the brake lines replaced on my 1992 Chevy Cavilier for a total of $192.00. This was done by a local brake shop, and included rebuilt calipers.

I also had to have that done and Les Schwab was about the same price. I agree with dwalmop if you can replace the caliper yourself it will save you some money.
