Default brake service etc. cost from local shop?

quick question i know most of everyone on CL tends to DIY for brake pads.

Unfortunately i just don't have the time to service my 06 GS300 92k myself.
i usually go to my local shop and pay about $70-$75 for full synthetic oil changes every 5k.

I will going in for brake inspection and service soon and wanted to see what are reasonable rates for the following:

- replacement of brake pads front + rear (oem)
- resurfacing of rotors
- replacement of spark plugs
- replacement of spark plug wires
- flushing of all fluids

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you CL!

each shop is going to be different but i would have to say if i had to ball park it your probably looking around 500 bucks. shops charge a ridiculous amount for brake pad jobs for some reason even though it only takes about 20 minutes to do.
