Prices for a brake caliper on a 2010 Honda Accord vary widely depending on front vs rear placement and whether you choose remanufactured, aftermarket, or OEM parts. In general, a single caliper can range from around $20 to $350, with front calipers typically costing more than rear ones.
Pricing landscape for the Accord’s calipers
The following ranges reflect common sourcing options and should help you budget for parts and potential installation.
Front calipers
Front calipers are usually more expensive due to their role in primary braking. Typical price ranges are:
- Remanufactured front caliper: approximately $60–$150 per caliper
- New aftermarket front caliper: approximately $120–$250 per caliper
- OEM Honda front caliper (new): approximately $180–$350 per caliper

Where you buy and the warranty can also affect the total. Always verify fitment for your exact trim and whether mounting hardware is included.
Rear calipers
Rear calipers tend to be less costly than fronts, though prices vary by whether the rear uses a separate parking brake mechanism. Typical ranges are:

What affects price beyond front vs rear
Several factors influence the final price you’ll pay for a caliper:
- Brand and quality: OEM vs aftermarket vs remanufactured
- Condition: new, remanufactured, or used
- Warranty: longer warranties can add cost but reduce risk
- Retail channel: brick-and-mortar stores vs online retailers
- Shipping, taxes, and whether hardware (like guide pins or mounting brackets) is included
Installation costs are separate and depend on labor rates, whether you’re replacing one caliper or both sides, and if rotors or brake hoses also need replacement.
