My local shop is busy as can be. I guess people are biking more with fewer recreation options available. They have a $50 minimum for service work.

Info you will need is whether they are road (caliper) or mounts for V-brakes or Cantilever.
For Caliper you will need the distance from the fork mounting hole to the rim (converted to mm), then buy the correct "reach" for the fork & brake stay in the rear.
Also you need to match the brake lever pull distance to the type of brake.
Good luck!

I'm not a brake aficionado. The general or mechanics forum might be able to help more.
