But many many years ago i worked at brake shop and seen it all....I was worried about some of the things i seen those guys do and would tell them that they are going to kill someone. All in all .........do it yourself.

do it yourself, its not that hard.

go buy those tool sets from Costco for like 40 bucks and you are able to change both rotor and pads by yourself....
