To put it in perspective, my wife's brakes bit the dust on a week that I was out of town working.  Normally, I would do the work in the driveway, but she had no choice but to go to our local shop.  She didn't need calipers, and to be perfectly honest, I would question weather your car needed them or not.  The typical time to replace a caliper, is if it refuses to open.  Anyway, brakes and rotors all the way around on her 2012 Corolla, for $289.  Their labor rate is $60/hr (fair) and they don't mark up the parts. 

Had I known that her brakes were about to go, I could have purchased the parts online, did the work myself (about 2 hrs), and only had maybe $150 in the whole deal.
