Brakes for 2007 Accord

[librarybrandy.livejournal.com]

I checked the tags, and can only find recs for tire places. With that in mind, if I need front brakes and rotors for a 2007 Accord, and I don't want to pay the $600 the dealership wants BUT would still like the luxury of stopping when I need to, are there local places I can go? Has anyone had brakes done at Arco Tire & Service, in Teele? They've patched/replaced a few tires for me and have always seemed quick, affordable, and reliable, and their website says they do brakes, but... are they good? Is there somewhere else I should go?

(Or, is $600 actually the going price for brakes + rotors?)

I'm selling a full-size futon for $80. I've been its only owner and it's in great shape; I just finally upgraded to a couch. More details and pic over at craigslist.

Thank you to everyone who gave me pointers to places to find lilacs a few weeks ago. I never did get the chance to check them out, but I thought I'd share what I did find.
