Why don't you do it yourself. Those cars have floating rotors so its simple. Remove replace. Its a front wheel drive so no packing hub bearings. And the. Pads only require a c clamp or big channel locks to press back the hydraulic piston. Easy peazy and you get to save $100 and learn a bit about your car
No time, space, or experience, or I would.

That sounds very fair. Keep in mind that even if it takes them 20 minutes, they're going to charge you the full hour. I have never known a shop to pro-rate labor costs. Also keep in mind that in addition to paying the person that's actually working on your car, they also have to pay: rent, utilities, insurance, etc... Plus, they're in business to make a profit.
