If you have a few simple hand tools, you can do this yourself. In fact, once you learn how to do it, you will never let a dealer do it for you ever again. Pads are so easy to change its nearly a sin how much shops charge for this
If you like the performance of the original pads, get another set. For everyday use, they are hard to improve upon.
You mention its time to replace pads.. when was the last time the brake fluid was changed? If its been more than 2 years, you might want to add this to your list of things to do. Not difficult here either, especially if you buy for about $100 or less, a Motive Power Bleeder and catch cans. It becomes a one man job.
I recall porsche recommends changing Rotors too, somewhere around every 2nd brake pad change. Something else to consider. And again, not a hard thing to do either.
Or, take it to the dealer and have them do all this work for likely $2000!
Lots of folks out here will lend advice and if you are close enough, someone would likely volunteer to come over and help you out!
