Rotors are a central part of the braking system, and prices vary by year, rotor size, brand, and whether you buy OEM or aftermarket parts. This guide provides current price ranges to help you budget for replacement on a Honda Accord.
Rotors for a Honda Accord typically cost between about $20 and $120 per rotor, depending on brand and whether you choose OEM or aftermarket, with front rotors usually more expensive than rear. Labor to install rotors runs roughly $100 to $300 per axle at a typical shop.
What affects rotor cost
Several factors determine rotor pricing for the Accord, including brand, material, rotor size, and whether you buy OEM or aftermarket. The following subsections outline the main drivers.
Brand and material
Rotors come in standard cast iron, high-carbon formulations, and coated finishes. Premium options (such as drilled/slotted designs or special coatings) tend to cost more than basic, stock-style rotors. OEM parts from Honda are typically more expensive than many aftermarket equivalents, but may offer the best fit and longevity for your vehicle.
Front vs rear rotor size
Front rotors on the Accord are generally larger and more frequently replaced than rear rotors, which commonly results in higher prices for front rotors both from OEM and aftermarket sources.
Prices by rotor type and brand (typical ranges you’ll see in online and local parts stores):
- Aftermarket standard rotors (non-OEM, usually cast iron, plain finish): typically $20–$60 per rotor.
- Mid-range aftermarket rotors (brands like Bosch QuietCast, Raybestos, Duralast): roughly $40–$90 per rotor.
- OEM Honda rotors (genuine Honda parts): typically $60–$120 per rotor, depending on year and size.
- Premium/Performance rotors (drilled/slotted, high-carbon, specialty coatings): usually $70–$150+ per rotor.
Prices can vary by retailer, region, and whether the rotor is for the front or rear axle.
Front vs rear rotor costs
- Front rotors: commonly $60–$120 each OEM; $40–$90 each aftermarket.
- Rear rotors: commonly $50–$100 each OEM; $20–$60 each aftermarket.
Because front rotors carry more braking load and are larger, they are typically pricier than rear rotors.
Installation and total costs
Labor costs and additional services can significantly affect the total project price. Here is a practical breakdown for typical shops as of 2026:
- Labor to replace rotors and pads on one axle (rotor-only replacement): about $150–$300.
- Labor to replace rotors and pads on both axles: about $300–$600.
- Additional services (brake fluid flush, sensor replacement, or caliper service): $40–$150 extra.
Note that if rotors require resurfacing, or if calipers or wheel bearings need attention, costs can rise. Always get a written quote based on your Accord’s year, trim, and the exact rotor size you need.
Summary
Rotor prices for a Honda Accord vary widely by year, rotor size, and brand. Expect roughly $20–$60 per rotor for entry-level aftermarket parts, $60–$120 per rotor for OEM Honda rotors, and $70–$150+ per rotor for premium options. Front rotors are usually more expensive than rear rotors. Add installation labor — typically $150–$300 per axle for rotor-and-pad replacement, with higher totals if additional services are needed. Shop around, confirm exact part numbers for your model year, and consider replacing pads at the same time to maximize value.
