Brakes for a 2014 Nissan Sentra typically run in the low hundreds per axle for parts, with labor adding a similar amount. If you replace only pads, the cost is on the lower end; replacing rotors as well increases the total. For a full two-axle job, expect a broad range depending on parts quality and where you shop.
Parts price ranges
The following figures reflect common aftermarket options and are intended as a baseline for comparison. Prices vary by brand, whether you choose budget or premium parts, and regional market differences.
- Front brake pads (pair, per axle): $40–$90
- Front brake rotors (pair, per axle): $40–$120
- Rear brake pads (pair, per axle): $30–$70
- Rear brake rotors (pair, per axle): $30–$90
Notes: Premium ceramic pads and drilled/slotted rotors typically sit at the higher end of these ranges. If your rotors are resurfaced rather than replaced, parts costs can be lower, but labor may increase slightly if more time is needed.
Labor costs
Labor is largely driven by whether you replace pads only or also replace/repair rotors. Location and shop type (independent shop vs. dealership) also have a big impact.
- Labor to replace pads only on one axle: about $80–$150
- Labor to replace pads and rotors on one axle: about $150–$300
- Two-axle jobs (pads and rotors on both axles), typical shop rates: roughly $300–$700 total, depending on parts and whether the rotors are replaced or resurfaced
Dealerships often charge toward the upper end of these ranges, while independent shops usually fall toward the lower end. Additional costs may apply for rotor resurfacing, ABS sensor work, or emergency fees in some locations.
Total cost scenarios
Here are representative total-cost scenarios for a two-axle brake service on a 2014 Sentra. All figures are rough ranges based on common aftermarket parts and typical shop labor rates.
- Pads only on both axles (no rotor replacement): Parts $70–$160; Labor $160–$300; Total $230–$460
- Pads and rotors on both axles (full replacement): Parts $140–$370; Labor $300–$600; Total $440–$970
- Premium parts (ceramic pads and upgraded rotors) on both axles: Parts $210–$470; Labor $360–$900; Total $570–$1,370
These ranges provide a sense of the spectrum you’ll see when shopping around. Your actual total will depend on the exact parts you choose (budget vs. premium), local labor rates, and whether any rotor resurfacing is needed.
Where to buy and what to ask
To compare prices, check a mix of sources: local auto parts retailers, online retailers, and your local Nissan dealership. Get itemized quotes that separate parts and labor, and confirm whether rotors are included or if they’ll be resurfaced. Ask about warranty terms on parts and labor, and whether brake fluid flush or hardware kits are included or required.
Summary
For a 2014 Nissan Sentra, expect roughly $230–$460 for a pads-only two-axle brake service, $440–$970 for a full pads-and-rotors two-axle job, and up to about $1,370 or more if you opt for premium parts. Prices vary by brand, rotor choice, location, and whether you choose an independent shop or a dealership. Shopping around and getting written estimates will help you lock in the best value while keeping safety as the priority.
