December 28, 2010

You actually don’t need professional help to replace the emergency brake cable. The cable itself usually costs $10–$20, depending on the make of your car. This is the only cost that you will incur assuming that all other components of your brake system are in good condition. However, if you get professional help, try to find the most competent yet competitively priced auto shop. The dealerships usually charge $200–$300 dollars in labor costs just to have that cable changed. You more or less spend $350 total if you take this route. Emergency brake cable replacement does not need to be expensive and you just have to know the right places to have it done and the right shops to get your parts from.
