Don't know what you want to spend but this is what I got when I was calling around for my Honda.



Rotors were ~28 each. (112 for 4)

Front pads were $42

Rear pads were $39

Those are all prices for economy parts. That's 193 just for parts. Your car might be cheaper being an american car. Not sure what a shop would charge you for doing it. My friend got all of his pads done at a back alley mechanic, charged him ~20 a corner to change just the pads.

Honestly if you can get somewhere warm discs are so much easier not to fuck up then drums are. Just get rotors and pads. All you need is the proper wrench set and a u-clamp to push the rotor pistons back in.

The rear caliper pistons on that car are not the push in type. It's the screw in type. Same concept though, use a set of needle nose pliers and turn them clockwise while pushing in. There is literally no way to fuck up disc brakes.

How much does it usually cost to do rotors, pads, SS lines for all 4 corners and a fluid flush (just labour costs)?
