The cost of rotors for a 2018 Honda Accord typically ranges from about $30 to $120 per rotor, depending on brand and design. A full set of four rotors can run roughly $120 to $480 in parts, with labor costs added by a shop.
Prices vary based on whether you buy OEM (Honda) rotors from a dealer or aftermarket rotors from third-party brands, and whether you choose standard, drilled, or slotted designs. Below is a breakdown of typical price ranges for front and rear rotors, plus notes on what drives price differences.
Rotor pricing by position
Prices for front and rear rotors differ, and the ranges below reflect common options available in the U.S. from both dealers and aftermarket retailers.
- Front rotors (each): OEM Honda replacement typically about $60–$110; aftermarket standard about $25–$50; aftermarket drilled/slotted about $60–$120; remanufactured options around $25–$60.
- Rear rotors (each): OEM Honda replacement typically about $40–$90; aftermarket standard about $20–$60; aftermarket drilled/slotted about $50–$100; remanufactured options around $25–$50.
Overall, expect higher prices for OEM parts and for drilled or slotted designs, while standard aftermarket rotors are usually the most budget-friendly option. Taxes, shipping, and retailer variations will also affect final prices.
OEM vs aftermarket considerations
Choosing between OEM and aftermarket rotors can impact long-term performance and warranty. OEM rotors align with Honda’s specifications and may offer consistent quality, but they tend to be pricier. Aftermarket rotors can save money and provide options like drilled or slotted designs for improved cooling and performance, though quality can vary between brands. Always verify compatibility with your 2018 Accord’s trim and braking system, and consider whether you also need new brake calipers or pads as part of the service.
Labor and total costs
Prices here reflect typical labor costs for rotor replacement, which vary by location and shop rate. The following ranges give a sense of what to expect per axle and for both axles combined.
- Front rotor replacement (labor per axle): approximately $120–$260
- Rear rotor replacement (labor per axle): approximately $120–$260
- Both front and rear rotors (labor for both axles): approximately $240–$520
Note that total costs will include rotor price plus labor, plus any required brake pads, caliper service, additional parts (e.g., sensors, anti-squeal compounds), and local taxes. Getting a written estimate that itemizes parts and labor is recommended.
Summary
For a 2018 Honda Accord, rotor prices typically swing from about $30 to $120 per rotor depending on OEM vs aftermarket and whether you choose standard or drilled/slotted designs. Front rotors generally cost more than rear rotors, and labor adds a substantial portion to the bill. When planning a replacement, compare OEM pricing with reputable aftermarket options, and obtain a detailed estimate that covers parts, labor, and any related brake service needs.
