if you have over 1/8" on the pads both sides it's not urgen, and the rotors need not be replaced unless worn substantially lower than the little rust line around the outside. Learn how to inspect the brakes yourself. Extrmely simple and a notorious moneymaker for the shops.
Buy a tread depth guage for the tires (about $4) and look to rpelace whne under 4/32, or if noticeably unevenly worn (the latter being a flag for another problem. I agree with the others on the rest.
