Brake pad sets for a 2014 Honda Accord typically cost between about $25 and $120 per axle for parts, depending on whether you choose economy organic, semi-metallic, or ceramic pads, and whether you’re replacing the front or the rear pads. Labor and potential rotor work can add significantly to the total.
In this article we break down current pricing across common brands and materials, differentiate front versus rear pads, and explain how labor, rotors, sensors and other factors affect the final bill. Prices can vary by region and retailer, but the ranges below reflect typical U.S. market pricing as of 2026.
Front brake pads
Pad material options
The following price ranges are per-axle (two pads) for front brakes and exclude rotors or wear sensors. They illustrate common material choices from economy to premium.
- Economy/Organic front pads: $25–$60 per set
- Semi-metallic front pads: $40–$80 per set
- Ceramic/Low-dust front pads: $60–$120 per set
Prices can vary by brand, retailer, and whether you buy through a dealer or an aftermarket supplier. OEM (factory) pads from Honda tend to be at the higher end of the range, while aftermarket brands offer broader pricing.
Rear brake pads
Pad material options
Prices below cover common rear-pad material choices and are per-axle (two pads) for the rear brakes, before any rotor work or sensors.
- Economy/Organic rear pads: $25–$50 per set
- Semi-metallic rear pads: $35–$70 per set
- Ceramic/Low-dust rear pads: $50–$90 per set
Rear pads are typically cheaper than front pads, reflecting lower wear rates in many driving conditions, but premium ceramic options can still push prices higher. Regional availability and brand choice will influence the final sticker price.
Installation and related costs
Labor and rotor-related work
Beyond the pad cost, installation prices depend on whether rotors are also replaced or resurfaced, and on regional labor rates. The following ranges reflect typical U.S. pricing for common scenarios per axle.
- Pad-only installation (no rotor work): $100–$200
- Pad replacement with rotor resurfacing: $150–$300
- Pad replacement with rotor replacement: $200–$350
Note that hourly shop rates vary, and some shops price by the job rather than by the hour. If new wear sensors are required or if rotors have heavy scoring or warping, the total can be higher.
Other factors that affect price
What influences cost beyond pads
Several factors can shift both parts and labor costs for a 2014 Honda Accord:
- Brake pad material choice (organic vs. semi-metallic vs. ceramic)
- Front vs. rear axle replacement (usually front pads cost more)
- Rotor condition and whether resurfacing or replacement is needed
- Quality of parts (OEM vs. aftermarket brands)
- Presence of wear sensors or anti-squeal shims
- Regional labor rates and shop policies (some charge per axle, others per wheel)
When shopping, compare part prices across dealers and aftermarket retailers, and ask whether the quote includes rotors, sensors, and disposal fees.
Where to buy and what to ask for
Guidance for shoppers
Typical purchasing options include:
- Dealership parts departments (often the most expensive but guaranteed OEM fit)
- Automotive parts chains and retailers (a mix of OEM, aftermarket, and private-label brands)
- Online retailers offering both OEM and aftermarket pad kits
When requesting quotes, specify: front or rear axle, pad material preference, whether rotors/sensors are included, and if noise-reduction or low-dust options are desired. Reading customer reviews can help gauge longevity and performance for different brands.
Summary
For a 2014 Honda Accord, expect parts-only brake pad prices per axle to range roughly from $25 to $120 depending on material and front vs. rear position. Installation costs vary by region and shop, typically costing about $100–$200 per axle for pad-only work, and more if rotors or sensors are involved. In total, a full brake-pad job (pads plus possible rotor work) can land in the $250–$500 range per axle in many markets, with higher-end ceramic setups and OEM dealer parts pushing the upper end. Always obtain a written, itemized quote and confirm what is included before authorizing work.
