Rotor price ranges by axle
Prices below reflect rotor-only costs from common retailers and OEM replacements in the United States, excluding labor, pads, or additional services. Front rotors are larger and more expensive than rear rotors, and options like drilled or slotted rotors raise costs further.
- Front rotors: typically $60–$150 per rotor for OEM or premium aftermarket; many standard aftermarket options are around $25–$70 per rotor; performance variants can exceed $100 per rotor.
- Rear rotors: typically $40–$110 per rotor for OEM or premium aftermarket; simpler aftermarket rotors can be as low as $15–$60 per rotor.
Prices vary by retailer, location, and whether you buy online or in-store. Core charges may apply, and taxes or shipping may affect final pricing.
Installed price considerations
Beyond the rotor itself, the total cost to replace rotors includes labor, potential pad replacement, and any additional services. Here is what to expect.
Labor and pads
Most shops charge 1–2 hours of labor per axle for rotor replacement, with typical labor rates in the United States ranging from about $75 to $120 per hour. If you replace pads at the same time, you can add their cost, which varies by pad type and brand.
Resurfacing vs. replacement
Some rotors can be resurfaced if they are within thickness and runout specs, which can save money. If rotors are warped, deeply scored, or below minimum thickness, replacement is required. The decision depends on rotor condition and the installation facility's policy.
Estimated installed costs
Here are approximate installed cost ranges for a single axle, including rotors, typical pads, and labor in the continental U.S.: Front axle around $180–$350; Rear axle around $150–$240. Replacing both axles commonly falls in the $360–$700 range, depending on rotor options and shop rates.
Summary
For a 2017 Chevy Equinox, rotor costs are largely driven by front versus rear placement and by OEM versus aftermarket options. Front rotors are more expensive than rear; drill/slotted variants lift prices further. Always factor in labor and pad costs, and verify rotor thickness and wear with your mechanic.
