This is a very simple job, no reason not doing it yourself, even.

Here are two pictures of the FRONT...


...and REAR brakes:


A quick and dirty description:
Once the car is safely on jackstand(s), and the wheel is off, pull out the clips that hold the pins. Remove the springs, knock out the pins, and pull out the pads. Use a piece of wood(/plastic) to push back the caliper pistons to make room for the new pads. Keep an eye on the reservoir so you don't flood it. Apply copper paste to the pistons and the contact area between backing shims and pads. Insert pads, put some paste on the pins and insert them, install springs and locking clips and you're done. Pump the brakes a few times before you hit the road.

Erling.
