Well, then go and buy good stuff. OEM rotors (Brembo makes the Cobra ones), OEM or aftermarket pads (Hawk, EBC, and Satisfied are great brands), and then, install it yourself. Seriously, all you need to to is pop the wheel off, use a breaker bar to get the caliper mount bolts off, and then your pads and rotors just pop off. Use a c-clamp to push the piston back in or the "socket" for the rear, pop the new pads on, slide the new rotors on, torque everything down, and then throw on your wheels and your done. If you need to change the fluid, bleed the system from rear-right to rear-left to front-right, and then front-left until you see new fluid coming out of each one. If you are missing some tools, needle nose pliers are a good substitute for the "socket", a long bar attached to your socket wrench is probably better than a breaker bar but a c-clamp is kind of a must but you don't need something over the top for that.
