What a Diagnostic Costs
Our Level 1 Diagnostic is $175 before shop fees and tax, which comes to about $200 all in. It includes up to an hour of technician time, enough to find the cause of most problems.
If you only want to know what codes your vehicle is reporting, our Code Scan & Clear is $59.49. See check engine light diagnosis for what each one includes, and why shops charge for diagnostics.
What a Brake Job Costs
Replacing pads and rotors on one axle is approximately $530 to $775 before taxes, with many jobs around $650. Trucks, larger SUVs and performance brakes sit at the higher end.
Every brake job uses NAPA parts and is covered by the NAPA AUTOPRO Peace of Mind Warranty. More on our brake service page.
Battery, Starter and Alternator Costs
A battery replacement is approximately $270 to $440 before taxes, with many around $315. A starter is approximately $400 to $620, and an alternator approximately $475 to $970.
Alternator prices vary the most, because on some engines it sits deep in the engine bay and takes much longer to reach. We test the battery and charging system first, so you only replace the part that has actually failed.
What a Typical Visit Costs
Many visits to our shop come to around $230 before taxes. Most fall between about $125 and $600.
Bigger jobs such as suspension, timing belts or major engine work cost more. Either way, you'll see the full price and approve it before we start. For specific repairs, see wheel bearing replacement cost and our oil change page.
