Ok...given the lack of applicable responses, I guess I'll just assume that there's no decent Ford shops in the area...anyone have a ballpark figure on how tough it is to install brake pads/rotors? I'm not an automotive moron, but neither do I have a garage full of tools...

Do you mean Prestige L/M? Cause Signature L/M is in Las Vegas (where CEGers buy parts online and over the phone from)...
If so, then I agree. I took my car to Prestige a couple times in Gainesville and their work and customer service was great. Whatever you do, DO NOT get brake work done at Sears in Gainesville. They did a horrid job on my car! DONT GO THERE!
Good luck.

HAHA, yeah- I mean Prestige. When my shifter cables fell off (yes, fell off), I told the tow-truck driver in Gainesville that we were taking it to Scarritt L/M; which is the L/M dealer in my home town...they all run together. Brake job at Prestige was $175 when they quoted me over the phone. Bill is the customer service guy there, and they will take good care of your car-
