You, or the mechanic. Who changes them.

And what car do you have? How much did it cost you last time they were changed?

For my truck, the brake pads cost about $100 total. instllation charge: $0.... did it on my own.

Brake pads are the easiest thing on earth to replace. All it take is one large C clamp, a block of wood and some other tools like screw drivers and a wrench. Scrape the rut off the rotor to make installation of the new pads easier.
