AutoZone Brake Rotor Prices

What brake rotors cost

Every price here was read from an AutoZone listing for a specific year, make and model, so these are what the shelf said rather than a national estimate. 525 distinct products appeared across 52 vehicles, 1,991 listings in all.

1 of the 52 listings did not load every result AutoZone advertised, so treat the low figure as the cheapest we saw rather than the cheapest offered.

AutoZone Brake Rotor Prices by rotor type

The rotor type is the decision underneath the price, so it is worth reading this table before the brand one.

The brands on this shelf

7 brands, cheapest first by what their lowest product costs. A wide range inside one brand usually means it sells more than one line rather than that its prices are inconsistent.

Half this shelf is one rotor and half is a pair

This is the single most expensive mistake available on this page. 399 of the listings are one disc, at a median of $87.99. The other 126 are sets, at a median of $269.99.

A price three times another is usually not a better rotor. It is more rotors. Comparing a set against a single and concluding one is poor value gets the decision exactly backwards.

Rotors are replaced in pairs across an axle whatever the listing says, because a new disc on one side and a worn one on the other pulls under braking. Work out the per-axle total before comparing anything.

Working out what you actually need

Count what you are buying. Two front rotors, or a set that already contains two. The listing says which and the price difference is entirely that.

Measure before you buy. Discs have a minimum thickness stamped on the hub face, and one below it has to be replaced rather than machined. A caliper measurement takes a minute and settles it.

Slotted and drilled rotors exist on this shelf at a premium. They shed heat and water faster and they crack sooner under road use. For a commute, a plain disc is the better buy.

Budget for pads at the same time. Replacing discs without pads wastes the new surface.

What fits your car, and what it costs

What AutoZone listed for each vehicle we checked, cheapest first. Fitment here is year, make and model only, with engine and trim not selected, so confirm the part number against your own car.

The cheapest brake rotors

The 60 cheapest of 525, with the rotor type and how many of our 52 vehicles each is listed for. The rest sit above $47.99 and the table by vehicle above covers what fits your car.

Prices exclude tax. Fitment is by year, make and model, with engine and trim not selected. Check the part number against your own car before buying, because a cheaper part that does not fit is not cheaper.
