Is there anything special or difficult about a brake job on a 2001 Boxster that would preclude this being done by a local brake "specialist" like a Speedy or Midas?

The local dealer is a bit of a drive, needs an appointment and doesn't give courtesy cars. And is likely quite expensive.

A quick look through the wheel spokes shows a bit of pad left and so it's not a rush thing. But I've noticed that the sound of the braking is a bit "rough" as you approach a stop. Maybe it needs new brakes?
