I bought a 99 cavalier Z24 today, and i was told it needs brake lines. How much is that going to run me?

Just call an auto parts store and ask them how much the line you need cost!

I have a set of front brake lines. The complete set running from the brake master cyliner to the caliper (metal and rubber parts).

Not that much for the lines themselves.

A @!#$load of time, however, if you bleed the brakes yourself.

Parts are not that much, but running brake lines and bleeding them is pretty time intensive.

At our shop we charge and hour per line...plus material ( $1 per foot, fluid, and most of the time you can reuse the flare nuts). most jbodys you can cheat and run half front to rear lines because the front half is usually in really decent shape, brake lines aren't to hard to do yourself if you under stand how to bleed brakes, and can make a bubble flare ( hint: use the flat side the the clamp ). if you need further help or suggestions feel free to msg me, i'll try and help the most i can.

Woah,
Going by the rates around here, $79 * 4 + material.
Near $400 for brake line replacement?
For real?

All I'm saying is hourly rate where I am are insane.
And the prices keep going up.

Esp since they charge for those hours even if it takes a few minutes.
I think I need to move.
