If your swapping trailers in a few years any decent priced brake job will do if it’s done properly.. Unless you use them hard that is.

Can anyone tell me if that's a decent price? 800 if I don't need drums?

At a real shop that should be about right. Guys will come on here and say they can do a wheel position in 10 min but in reality from the time it’s checked in until it’s out the door they will have 3 or 4 hours in just shoes and drums. You want the s cam bushings and slacks replaced the price will double.
S cam bushings usually require the hubs to come off. Then you will likely need seals at $50 each too.
When I bought my trailer it needed everything done for brakes. They said it would be $1600.00 extra. I told them take off $800 and we would call it good. I did the whole job myself but it was every bit of a full day. Think I spent around $800 in parts.86scotty Thanks this.
