2.5 hours labour? thats a bit much...
damn, mechanic did all 4 pads and rotors on my 3 series in like 45 minutes. I probably could have done it myself in an hour and a half
2.5 hours with beer. Much quicker without. If you're willing to spend $800+ on that, I will be more than happy to do it.

If they can still be, you can get the rotors turned for like $5 each maybe $10 these days (haven't worked there since 98) at any shop.
Because of the super low costs for new rotors, there are very few places that turn rotors anymore. The ones that do charge for it, and it really isn't worth it. Pay maybe $100 or less for a new full thickness rotor, or pay $20 to turn one that will be used and thinner, plus the time that the car isn't available because you have it up on a lift or jack stands with no wheels on it. Plus many current model cars have rotors that are recommended for turning because they are made thin already to save weight.
That is not a bad price - I paid almost 1k for 4 brake pads and 4 rotors. I could have skipped the rotors but they would have worn out before the brake pads did.
