NO!!!

Buy the parts, spend the extra money on a service manual and do it yourself!

Replacing rotors (the disc potion) on a disc braked car is one of the easiest DIY jobs out there. Replacing pads isn't much tougher. If you have a jack, stand, lug nut wrench and a small selection of other sockets (or metric wrenches) this is an EASY job. MAYBE 15-20 minutes per wheel for the fist-timer.
