97 Troubles

Heres the deal... My car needs a bunch of work done. I dropped my car off at a local shop last friday. The rotors are warped to hell, the pads are at like %5 and are squealing all the time. My CV boots are cracked, and throwing axle grease all over my wheels and brakes. They had it all day friday, all day saturday and all day monday. When I call to see what the deal was, they said "we havn't had a chance to get to it yet." So I drive by like around 6 when theyre getting ready to close, and theyre in the garage working on their personal vehicles. Whatever long story short... I chewed em out and im taking my car somewhere else, my question is I think the reason they took so long is cuz they dont have a press for the rotors and If I have to take it to the dealer, how much should I expect the dealer to charge me to all the work listed above?
Sorry for the long post, I kinda left a bunch out cuz it was getting kind of long.

The dealer would be very pricey, take it to another shop if you know of one

wow, a press for the rotors...novel idea. Never occurred to me at the time, but that's why those shop kids were beating the living ass out of my cl with sledgehammers that one time...hell, it worked.
