Do it yourself, I did mine for the first time this past weekend and it really isn't a hard thing. I took like 20 minutes a wheel. Let me know if you need instrutions?

bro the thing is that i wanna get the rotors cut too cause i dont want my car making that screaming noise and, technically you'r suppose to get the rotors cut everytime cause they wear at a angle just like the pads. So if you put new pads on without cutting the rotors there is gonna be less pad to rotor contact and so less brakeing strength and if they are warped even a little bit like a few micron's it will cause your wheels to shake on hard breaking.

You can take them out yourself and bring them to a shop which will turn them for you...problem solved and money saved. The charge is minimal compared to what a dealer would try to get.
