Parts costs: brake pads and rotors (Nissan Rogue)
- Front brake pads (set for two front wheels): roughly $60–$120 per axle.
- Rear brake pads (set for two rear wheels): roughly $50–$110 per axle.
- Front brake rotors (two rotors, one per front wheel): about $60–$140 per rotor (roughly $120–$280 for the pair).
- Rear brake rotors (two rotors, one per rear wheel): about $40–$100 per rotor (roughly $80–$200 for the pair).
Installed costs: brakes on a Nissan Rogue
- Front axle installed (pads + rotors): roughly $300–$500 per axle.
- Rear axle installed (pads + rotors): roughly $300–$500 per axle.
- Both axles installed (pads + rotors for front and rear): roughly $600–$1,000 total.
What affects price
- Part quality: OEM vs aftermarket components, and the grade of pads (standard, ceramic, etc.).
- Labor rates: Geographic variance and the shop’s pricing model (hourly vs. flat-rate).
- Rotor servicing: whether rotors can be resurfaced or must be replaced, and the extent of wear or damage.
Tips to save money
- Get quotes from several shops and ask for a detailed parts-and-labor breakdown.
- Discuss aftermarket parts versus OEM; sometimes a high-quality aftermarket option can save money with comparable performance.
- Ask whether rotor resurfacing is possible if the rotors are within wear limits; this can avoid a rotor replacement in some cases.
Always prioritize safety and rely on a trusted mechanic’s assessment of rotor thickness and pad wear. If in doubt, replacing worn rotors and pads together is generally best for consistent braking performance and long-term reliability.
