Is the braking action normal, aside from the grinding sound? If the car has been standing a while, a little rust build up is normal and should wear off pretty quickly. And the grinding sound is normal in that case.
If the pads are warn all the way down you should see grooves forming in the rotors. Take the wheel off and inspect the pads. If you still have meat on them you don't need brake work, just a new mechanic.
