Question Who installs rotors?

A have practicaly no tools so I can't do this myself.
I am getting new rotors and pads front and back and I don't know who installs those things besides dealer (my local dealer said they would install aftermarket rotors, but they will of course cost me the price of the rotors to put them in). What sort of place would do this? (I live in North Orlando if anyone has local guys they know).
(If anyone is curious I'm getting Rotora slotted rotors with RedStuff pads )

Would a place like Just Brakes do it? I was looking on google maps for car shops and just didn't know where to start.

or you could go buy some cheap tools. Believe you need 2- 17mm wrenchs, 14mm wrench, impact screw driver w/phillips bit,hammer, c-clamp. Probably get all that for under 50 bucks.

If you want to try yourself there are instructions in the DIY Mod Thread. The thread two down from the top. For finding a shop go to yellowpages or switchboard website and type in brakes or auto repair.

Yeah man you should do it. Just for the reward of doing something yourself. I am by no means a mechanic and the write up on here was great! I will tell you one thing if you don't want to spend much screw the impact screw driver. I bought one and it was still not enough to get those damn little screws out, just stripped them out. If you have a drill just drill them out man. The rest is a piece of cake just a few bolts really. Otherwise call around and get qoutes for the labor. Should be a 1 hour job tops for a mechanic I would think.
