Hard to believe both front and rear rotors need replacement as well as front and rear calipers!
What, $60 each for rotors, another $75 each for front and $25 for rear calipers, $450 total tops for parts, takes about an hour to install all the parts and bleed the brakes for another $70 labor (but the flat rate manual will probably give him 4 hours for all this) so it shold run $520 to $740...$900 is abusive parts pricing...he's probably charging you $150 each on the front calipers (pre88 I'm guessing) and $75 on the rears and a lot for the calipers. Is he nicking you for new hoses front and rear too?
What indication is there that the calipers and rotors need to be replaced?
Before I did all that I'd measure the rotors for thickness (DON'T turn them...if they're worn they're worn) and if serviceable continue to use them. Slap a new set of pads on and bed them. If the calipers/pistons are hanging up or the brake fluid is really raunchy/rust laden, maybe you need new calipers.
