Firestone or Infiniti dealer for rear brake job 05 g35 sedan

I'm in need of new rear brakes and rotors machined on my 05 g35 sedan. Debating whether to go with firestone complete care or the infiniti dealer for the work. Any suggestions?

Not handy enough to do it yourself? I would go with Firestone then.

Compare prices - ask questions from both, then make the call/decision. I go to firestone for alignment all the time and the have nationwide coverage. Infiniiti dealer will probably be lot more $$$.

Neither... Buy some rotors and pads and do it yourself! All you need is a 21mm socket for the lugnuts, 14mm for the caliper and 19mm for the caliper bracket.

plz dont pay someone to 200+ for about 20 minutes of work you can do yourself..... thats just labor not even counting the 90-120 for each rotor..... machine shops charge like 10 each to turn your rotors FYI

Where is a DIY for the rear brakes? I heard the worst part is trying to get the studs out of the hub? I know you have to beat on some brackets too, lol. Very limited knowledge of the rear brakes on these cars.
