I might need my rotors turned. Can't DIY that one.

Getting new rotors will probably cost less.
Are you in BR? I have an air compressor and floor jack in my garage. We could do the work in an hour.

Do they even turn rotors anymore? Isn't it just more common to replace them? For the money they are going to change for a brake job, you can probably do it yourself and replace the rotors. And it's one of the easier things to diy.

All of the correct answers are here; to summarize:
DIY (YouTube is your friend)
Ceramic pads
Buy new rotors (the money you'll save by having the old ones turned will be spent taking them to get turned)

Do Brembo brakes present any particular issues when changing?

Most shops don't have a lathe to turn rotors. They just replace them. A few do, and O'Reilly does

That's what I was planning on doing anyway

and for those of you considering buying a Tundra with the TRD Big brake kit, just a little FYI the only rotors that work with the kit are $500 each for replacements.

Are you getting new calipers too? Or are you just talking about rotors and pads? Yes you can get Brembo and as far as I know they aren't any different to change. YouTube may prove me wrong though.
EDIT: MJ2 covered it - special tool required.
Most important question though:
stick or automatic?
One revokes your man card and the other doesn't.

Alright, so back to the OP, then. Any shops you recommend?
