You are taking your car to the dealership for the simplest brake job you could ever do yourself for 40 bucks??

You need a Haynes manual, tools, and an auto parts store.

Are they disc rears?

If so a socket set and a couple screwdrivers will do the job in about 30 minutes if you are really fast.

Yea, its really one of the easiest things to do, short of changing a flat tire.
