need brake pads installed

What's up guys, well i placed my order for hawk pads for my brembos this past monday. Per ups they should arrive on friday and i need them replaced this saturday. Unfortunately, I am not able to replace them since I will be busy most of the day. Does anyone know a good shop that can do them for me? Im guessing they will also have to turn the rotors. Thanks in advance guys!

Installing pads should be a piece of cake

Right, well i needed them done this weekend and i'll be tied up during day time. So rotors don't need to be resurfaced again (brembos)? Reason why i ask is i would normally do that then change pads.

Thanks,

I've heard on later model cars that rotors are machined too close to min thickness to be turned (so the Autozone rep told me once), so you may look into that. I'd say just scuff them so long as they're not warped - as on an Infiniti,they shouldn't be. The only problem I've had with my brakes is that infernal squealing from glazed pads. Ech!
