I know right....... I almost puked when I heard 3000 for brakes and rotors. I just need some fresh pads and maybe some rotors but Ill probably throw some higher performace rotors on her.

^^^ What he said. $3,000 is way off; there must have been some sort of miscommunication as to what you wanted done.

By the way, brakes aren't very hard to work on. You can change pads in about 15 minutes with basic hand tools and minimal mechanical know-how.
