Bah bleeding the brakes is no biggy. I think I changed the pads and fluid on @the new guy 's car in just over an hour. Special tools that make it easier are a caliper piston tool and a brake fluid bleed bottle. $150 for a couple hours of labor does sound about right at the standard $75/hr shop rate. I would look for a local track guy that might be able to help you or show you how to do it like @raul . If you are planning on doing a lot of track days it will be well worth your effort to buy the tools and do it yourself. $150 can buy you a jack, jack stands, caliper piston tool, and a nice bleed bottle no problem.
