Rotors & Pads - DIY or Meineke?
I'm damn handy (and thrifty) when it comes to automotive repair but I'm on the fence whether I want to do the Front Rotors & Pads myself. I have the NEW parts and needed tools and the weather is real nice these days. What is the experience of other LTC owners? Time to DIY? Difficulty factor on a scale of 1-10? Thanks in advance.

Why not do it yourself? Save the money you'd otherwise spend on labor and put it into buying better USA made rotors that won't warp and good pads that are more fade resistant. Flush your brake fluid with fresh DOT 3, while you're at it.

Well than in that case go for having someone else do it. I am lucky I have the luxury to go back home and use my parents' garage when I need to wrench on the car.
