DIY front and rear brakes including rotors could be done for less than 250 bucks. It takes a couple of hours to install if you are handy with tools.

I believe nissan charges 2 hours of work for all 4 brake rotor install. I would just do it if i was you. Very easy.

depending on if your getting new rotors, or your rotors machined. Install time would be the same, but down time could be more. Anything at the dealer is going to cost you twice as much as it should. Buy some $300 rotors, some new pads and lines, and do it yourself. Probbaly take you an extra hour or two and would save you a $1000. Good luck with your decision.

Thanks for the help guys.
I finally called nissan and they quoted me 100 bucks to do front rotors and brakes. Ive already got the rotors and brakes so im just going to take it there and let them have at it.
I know i could do it cheaper myself and its probably not that hard but i really just dont want to mess with it. Superblack is right they charge 2 hours for all four wheels brake and rotor.
