Maybe I'll have a mechanic do it if it won't cost too much.

Have him do the drums (they are a pain, and the old guys who are mechanics know how to work on them since they were on the front wheels of cars long ago) but do the disks yourself! It is very easy and takes almost no time.

I was helping a friend strip down hs wrecked car and we were removing the rear disks on his car, and it took about 10 minutes to remove the disks.

Disks are so easy and take such a short time I don't see the point in wasting the money on having someone else do them.

Well if you need the disk resurfaced, you should just take it to a mechanic. I paid 40 bucks for them to change the pads and resurface my rotors. That doesn't include the price of the pads (which I got elsewhere).

When I got my rotors turned, they told me I had to get my drums adjusted or the car would brake harder in the rear than it was meant to due to the change in disk height. I paid 100 bucks to get it done :( too. I should have just bought powerslots instead. But that was right before I discovered this forum so I didnt know any better.

Its been a while since I did drums, but its not that bad, I think the worse parts was bleeding the damn things, You cant just compress the caliper like you can on a disk, you actually have to bleed the fluid out t9 compress the wheel cylender. Check out the manual:
