Every independent auto repair shop in Ontario with a published email address received the same customer enquiry about front brakes on a 2015 Audi A4, on a weekday morning. This page shows who answered, how fast, what they quoted, and how long they said the job takes.
Front pads and rotors, parts and labour, as quoted in writing by the shops themselves: $200 to $1,103, median $582. Time the car spends in the bay once it is in: 1 to 4 hours.
Quotes are copied from the reply as written. Where a shop quoted an hourly rate rather than a total, the rate is shown.
The names are held back until 15 September 2026 so that any shop still has time to change what its line says. Every shop in this measurement received the same enquiry from a customer, and answering it is what fills the line.
Of the 293 shops that answered, 111 came back inside the hour and 269 inside the day. 29 put a price in writing and 24 said how long the car sits in the bay.
