I have a 2007 and after our wicked cold and sloppy winter, I now have bouncing in my brakes when I stop. From experience, I know this to be rotors. How much should it cost me to replace the rotors at a shop?

you could check e-bay to see what new rotors would cost
Very hard to give you a price on what they would cost from a shop as they may charge different prices and shops in my area may charge more or less than shops in your area.
Would be best if you call around and that way you would know the cost and decide on which way you want to go

The rotors should not be that expensive from what I see. The cost of the job in hours is what I was looking for. I know there is a range of pricing, but an estimate is okay.
Some shops here won't quote, because they think you are the competition looking to outbid them. Great customer service, IMO.

your question has too many variables in it do you want cheap rotors? Mid range rotors? top of the line rotors? do you want cheap labor or high priced labor. Plus labor rates may vary in different parts of the country. So anyone that gives you a price here on the forum is only giving you a guess Again best bet would be for you to talk to different shops and see what they would charge you That way you will have a bottom line price. Also based on you saying " From experience, I know this to be rotors" I would bet that you have had rotors replaced in the past and already have an idea of cost.

Appears that you asked this back in May 2012 so you should have an idea of cost.
Also do you want fronts, backs, both plus labor price will be different if just doing front or rears or both and parts prices would also be different, too many variables to give you anywhere near a price

Looks like I sure did. I did not end up having them done, so I would not know the cost.
The original issue was brake squealing and was trying to get prepared for a rotor/brake pad job.
I am only looking for an idea on front (pair) replacement, medium quality, rotors.

then call a local shop as that is where you will get the best advice/quote from If you can't get a price over the phone then take the time to go to the shops. And again they will be in the position to take all the guess work out of prices and you will know the bottom line

So back in May 2012 you were looking to replace rotors and pads all around and in the past almost 2 years you been driving around on the rotors and pads that you wanted to replace.

A motivated mechanic could do a 4 wheel rotor and pad change in under 1.5-2 hrs assuming someone else looks up the parts, he doesn't run into any problems and the delivered parts are correct.
As far as cost, just like others have posted, depends on where you are and what your willing to pay. In my area it ranges from $85-100 per hour. The shop will also mark up the parts a certain amount. When all said and done, I've read others stating around $600-800 for a 4 wheel brake job. The price would go up if calipers or anything else needs replacing.
Why not do it yourself?

That would be illegal if they didn't tell you the price before they worked on it...

I used to have the rotors turned, but with new rotors just a couple of dollars more it is quicker to have a new set ready to go.

I see your from Canada so is that price in US Dollars or Canadian Dollars Does it include labor and since he's looking for something more that economy Does it help??
As I tried to explain to him his best be would to get a local shop to give him a quote for exactly what he wants.
Friend of mine showed me the receipt, didnt pay attention where he bought it, he got a 09 eb, but then i again i agree with you going to a nearby local shop and ask for a quote.
Good day.

That used to not be the case then I guess. We used to turn dozens a day. I remember turning them on my old vehicles, it was free ( for me ) to turn them for something like $80-100 after discount to buy new. I hear a lot of shops aren't turning rotors anymore though. So either the prices just tanked or liability became an issue.
