We’re glad you’re on top of your car maintenance—leaving your brake lines unfixed could have led to a real mishap. Thankfully, brake line repairs aren’t very expensive and should cost $200 or less.
The brake line itself should only cost between $30 and $50. The rest of your expenses come from labor costs. With the average shop charging between $80 and $150 for an hour of labor, that means it should only take about an hour.
While a rusty brake line isn’t covered, there are plenty of repairs and expenses that can get paid for by a good
