oh I dont know at a dealership... brakes are really expensive at shops... but they're super easy.
Its super easy tho if you do it yourself... probably the easiest maintenance to do besides changing oil.
I did my front and rear rotors and pads in about 2 hours... the front only take about 30 minutes... the rears only take longer because it requires a special tool, but you can rent the tool at any auto parts place..

you can buy the tool on TTstuff for $49.99
Thats what I did; the kit has attachments for all cars, but its a really good kit.

Rotors and pads is a really easy Do it Yourself job

go to any parts store, autozone, advanced, etc, they all have them for you to rent. You pay like $50-75 and then get that back when you bring back the tools.

If you're like me and have an assload of tools (former helicopter mechanic), buying it is a good investment since it'll work forever on you TT... but it also has attachments for every other car.
If not tho, definitely rent it

I would go ahead and order the countersunk alignment screws for the rotors also... they're usually pretty rusty

my brake tool kit paid for itself, literally. Nice to have to take care of my own brakes, but I put pads and rotors on the front of a friends Accord a few weeks ago. Had it done in an hour, and had $60 in my pocket for it. WIN
