My mechanic says flush the brake fluid out every time you put pads and/or pads and rotors on the car. It's not terribly expensive stuff, and it keeps the car safe to drive at high speeds.
I would agree that you should not let Midas or another chain do a brake job on your boxster. While it's actually quite simple to change the pads, requiring simple hand tools and a jack, the employees and managers of these chains have no familiarity with the car, and therefore, will be experimenting on YOUR baby when you bring it in. That's not a risk I would personally take!
Find a good independent Porsche mechanic and arrange to drop the car off on a Thursday night and get a lift to work while they do your brakes on Friday. Pads take about an hour total.
PS - Just as an FYI, the brake discs are usually changed out every other pad change... and Porsche does not recommend turning them (grinding down the grooves). I do hope yours aren't worn too thin! Mine are just about gone and will have to be replaced at the end of this year I'm guessing.
