Just get some good quality aftermarket parts and depending on how you feel just do it yourself. Its a really simple job to do and the only thing you can do wrong is not put the bolts back in. I pay about £30 a disc from a local parts supplier and £40 per axle for a good quality set of pads. Just ensure you get the ones with the fabric backing and you will be fine. Ive had mine on for 12,000 miles now and have had no issues with squealing, warped discs etc. Just give them a good load of copper grease on the back of the pad and you will have no issues. Theres pleanty of how to's on here for brake pad changes. All in for pads, discs all round and a pot of copper grease it will set you back £200. It also lets you know you've done it properly. I have no trust in garrages. Last time I used one I found a caliper hanging hook attached to my coil in the wheel bay when I got home. Always wanted to have a tyre blow out on me....
