Greetings,
Isn't there a car newsgroup somewhere???
If your rotors are scored don't let them tell you that you need new ones. Unless they are BADLY scored or thin you can sand them. If you want new ones cheap often cars go to the junk yard with almost new rotors. Look at 4 sets and odds are you will find one with 80% or better of its life remaining. Rotors cost $10 each at my junk yard for a savings of over $100 for about 1/2 hours work (once you are to the yard).
I also tell everyone they should replace their own break pads. It normally doesn't take me more than about 20 minutes if I don't bleed the breaks and maybe 30 if I do. Brand new pads cost about $5 per wheel. Since, depending on your families driving habits, you may have to replace a set as often as once per year, I recommend taking the time to learn. It will save you thousands over your lifetime and it is so quick it is hardly worth taking the time to drop off your car and pick it up later even if the replacement was free.
Hope this helps, William
