Yeah, open the break fluid top off in the engine bay, and use a hand pump clamp... or.. a 20$ amazon tool to do it.. then when you put the new stuff on and button everything up... you...get ready to calibrate the calipers! PRESS THE BREAK ta da! 500$ plz

If its 500$ for new all new rotors and all new pads, and mobile (aka at your house/work whatever) - that is not that bad.

Looked up for my van, amazon, a set of 4 rotor 4 pad is 310$

edit: new everything you just do some hard stop breaks a few times to set in the rotors etc. its good- no one is turning rotors 5 times anymore, and go ask your parts house how much it costs to turn the rotors now days- I called a few years ago, I think they wanted 25/35$ a rotor.... c'mon "Oh new ones need turning also!" nah... 90% people this aint no formula 1 or lambo...its a SUV mom wagon.

Yeah I'm assuming a full brake job for $500. If he was just doing the pads that's a bit much, but if they come to your house and do it I'd think that would cost a bit more. Not all brake jobs are created equal either. I did the brakes on my F-150 last winter and every fucking step of the way everything was rusted solid. Went through 2 cans of PB Blaster and a good amount of lying on my back trying to swing a sledge hammer while mud rained down into my eyes just to get the wheels off. If someone paid me $500 for that brake job I would have thought I got screwed.
