The cost to replace the Front Brake Pads is estimated at $77.00 for parts and $97.50 for labor.
There may be no specific flat rate time for a repair like that, the cost will vary depending on the labor rate and how much time the technician takes to perform repair.
Employers MUST pay for the time employees actually work and nothing else. Estimated repair times are irrelevant, actual work hours matter.
It could be. If you fill it and it drains quickly, then yes it needs repair. But sometimes brake fluid just lowers over time and the fluid is all that needs replacing.
Give the customer an estimated time for repair based on the technicians assessment.
Each shop has their own establashed labor rate as a flat fee. Then each repair has a published time (in hours) that it should take a qulified technician to complete the repair. Then the hours are added up and multiplied by the labor rate.

Actually by the time you figure the labor involved to repair one.. it might be better to purchase a rebuilt one from your automotive parts store and install it or have it installed
Well when doing research will show you there is no set time to repair. Calling a few shops will help you get a estimate. On average price can be from $40 to 200. On average time can be from 30 minutes to 2hours.
Usually the parts themselves are not in the labor book. Labor time is usually in a separate book than the R&R instructions. All this information can be in paper books, CD or on-line for a fee.
