its not your rotors that are squealing, those are your brake pads. They have a clip on them that will rub against the rotor when the pad gets too low, get them replaced NOW or you will damage your rotor and have to replace them too
both brakes pads will cost about $80 plus labor, 50-100, proably around 200, depending on where you take it

The Squealing noise is caused primary by dirt and heat, Before replacing your rotors, take the callipers off, remove any rust flakes from the rotor, remove any rust from the back of the pads, apply a light coating of brake quiet, available at any auto parts store, to the metal part of the brake pad, assemble the rotor and be sure to use a silicone base grease to lubricate your sliders. it will only take an hour and may save you some money, if it doesn't get rid of the squeal you will need that stuff when you replace the rotors.
Oh ya you might find the pads are worn out and the wear checks are what is squealing, so check you brakes sooner than later.

Agreed with most above..not the rotors unless you have a pulsing brake pedal..then they can be turned for around $8 each if not worn too much. If your brake pads are new and you add the anti squeek material suggested above, before reinstallation lightly rub the friction material on the concrete to break the glaze. Make sure that you do not imbed sand in the lining, but difficult to do. It WILL stop the squeek at least for a while, If it comes back replace the linings and not the rotors..unless warped as I spoke of above.
Good Luck

Off shore stuff will cost $30. - $40 each at any auto parts store. If it were me I'd walk straight past them if you plan to drive it more than two yrs. That's about as long as the Chinese made stuff will last. The cast iron metallurgy in those things are horrible. Good Wagner, AC Delco and EBC rotors cost $50. - $65.00 and will last the life of your Chevy Tracker. Wagner, NAPA, AND Car quest make three and four grades of pads resist the cheapies. The guaranty is about 6 months. go to the medium priced pads. They are less apt to tear your new rotors apart. EBC Green Stuff Pads are totally organic. Your rotors will not wear at all. The pads are only good for 30-40,000 miles as they are softer than either semi metallic, metalic or ceramic. Good luck!

it really depends on the year of your tracker. If you go OEM rotors roughly looking about $166 on up. But you can probably find a good, inexpensive rotor at like napa or autozone or a store like that

new rotors $20.00 each - new brakes $35.00 a set - might as well do them at the same time.
