You might consider doing these yourself. Probably the easiest brake job there is! Unless you need to turn or replace the rotors, the caliper does not need to be removed or "split" (splitting it makes a lot more work, and a mess). Remove wheel. Remove two cross-pins and the pads slide out of the "pocket". Remove one pad and use two small c-clamps to compress the pistons so a new pad will fit (use a piece of wood to protect the outside face from the clamp foot). Replace with new pad. Remove the other pad and repeat above. Replace spring-plate and pins and you're done.
There's probably a YouTube about it (I haven't looked).
Tools required:
Lug wrench
floor jack
small drift punch and a small hammer
two small c-clamps
needle nose pliers and/or regular pliers
