Brake job: does it matter where?

[rteichman]

I need to have the front brakes on my 99 Boxster replaced. How bad would it be to go to a Midas or Generic Tire place (the one that had the latest and greatest Hunter equipment for balancing/alignment) to do the job? I know the good Porsche mechanics in my area but they work mon-fri and I need to have work done on a Saturday.

If you guys think its ok to use a non-Porsche specialist, then my next question is should I get the brake fluid changed at the same time (it needs it) or should I wait for a time when I can get it into a specialist (about 3 months from now)
