I need brakes!

Just got my 03 E320 back from the dealership ... service F was performed and was told my rear brakes & rotors needed replacement soon (45k miles). Rear pads 20%, rear rotors 8mm...specs is 8.7mm... advisor told me to wait for message on MFD before replacing. He quoted me $585 to do the rears and another dealer quoted me $605 .

So... anybody have luck in the S.California area who does quality work for brakes and doesn't charge an arm and a leg?
