Call a few local shops and ask. Quite simple.
Too much. Find a video online about how to change brake pads, buy a loaner brake kit from your local corporate parts store, do it yourself, take the loaner kit back and receive your deposit refund. Cost = FREE. If you truly can't, follow all above steps and give your neighbor or a work colleague some cash, alcohol, or substance to do it for you. Cost = cheaper than a mechanic shop who wouldn't allow you to provideyour own parts anyway.
I'm not sure what a shop near you would charge since I haven't asked them and apparently, neither have you. I do know I'd double my labor rate to make up the loss of profit on using your brake pads
I don't know. The brake pads run $18-$60, depending upon the quality of the pads. You might as well get good ones if you are paying someone to do it. We always replace our own. Most places charge about $20-$30 for an oil change. I can't imagine how they can do that without upselling you. My son recently changed his oil. It was over $45 for the oil and about $12 for the filter.
Less than 100, with machine work. Yes, the rotors should be machined. If they are too thin, it will be a bit more.
Call the shop & ask them! Labor rates vary from state to state.
- What tools do I need to change my brake pads? Explain in plain English to a non-mechanic. Send pictures even? Alright before I get into this, let me explain that I'm a 17 year old girl that has no one to do my brake pads, and I'm unable to transport my car to a shop. Recently bought a car that needs a brake pad change and decided it'd be a good learning experience to just do them myself. I've seen them done and also decided that if I **** something up that's my own problem. I have a 2005 Ford Taurus. My e-mail is nyarseniccatnip@gmail.com (Haha. Ironic.)
- How to undo bolts on Ford Galaxy 2003 Front & Rear brake caliper to renew disc's and pads? I need to renew the disc's and pads at the front and rear of Ford Galaxy 2003. I have the correct sockets and a large extension bar, but they will not budge (front or rear). I have tried WD40, thinking of trying a little heat, but its a bit near to the brake hoses. All suggestions gratefully received. I have a full workshop manual on this car issued by Ford which just says that they are tightened to 190Nm. The front bolts are huge 27mm and the rear bolts are 18mm.

- Are the original facrory installed 2010 ford fusion SE V6 brake pads ceramic? I know the mototcraft pads are organic, part #br1164-b. The ford genuine part number # br1164. Just curious if the 1164 is ceramic.
