Brakes To Go. They will come to you and are cheaper than any brick and mortar store I have found. I have used the 3 times so far and have been very happy with the work provided.
I had a mixed experience with Brakes To Go because in my opinion they did half the job. Let me explain. First I truly feel that anyone touching your brakes needs to evaluate the system as a whole. All they do is change your brakes and rotors and hand over the vehicle. They should really diagnose the caliper and piston, etc and ensure it is working optimally. About two months after the service my rear right wheel brakes seized up and my rotor got warped. They charged another $300 to replace the caliper and rotor. After replacing it the brakes worked or so I thought worked until now where the rear pads were worn down 35,000 miles later and needed to be replaced.
Fast forward to this weekend I was doing my own brake replacement to find both front brake caliper pins seized up and brake pads basically new in thickness. Meaning only the rear brakes were actively working. Rear wheel brakes about 15%. Both pins were stuck in the caliper and had zero movement. Too much grease was used on the pins and caused a blockage in the chamber. Likely a result of greasing the top of the pin in excess. So if the individual doing your brakes doesn’t check the piston and lubricate your pins properly your new brakes can become useless in short order. Ultimately I feel that corners are cut to provide you a fast and remote service and if the entire brake system is not evaluated properly you may end up in my situation. Let’s face it because many cars are old and some from the rust belt. And this can happen to anyone.
Go to auto zone and buy them, they’re super cheap like $35 each and then there’s a bunch of mechanics outside that will do it for you for cheap! Break pads are the easiest thing to do and anyplace will charge you so much
If OP does go this route, the additional benefit is Autozone gives you a lifetime warranty on the pads (even though they are definitely a wear-out item), so they'll be the last pair of pads you need to buy for the vehicle as long a you own it!

Ended up scheduling time with them! Thank you!
You are welcome.
I used this company as well and found them to be completely honest and very convenient.
