I sure do love driving on I81, it's so pretty. Check all of your brakes for stuck slides. Taking the pads out and greasing the piston is easy to do. Brake grease can be bought at any auto parts store. Just do it before the weather gets too cold.
If you don't want to do it, find a good independent, not a "chain", and ask to have it done and the rotor thickness calibrated at the same time. A dealer will want to replace the front calipers, which is very costly and unnecessary.

You live in a very humid climate, keep the brake pistons greased. Use lots of grease, its cheap.
