Find a local mechanic you can trust, word of mouth is usually best.
Then become his customer I can't see why people will pay dealer rates for simple out of warrenty work like pads, oil changes, shocks, ect.
When you take you crossfire to the dealer you pay too much for some new kid out of tech school to put you pads on anyway.
Front pads is an easy job. Any local brake shop can do it also.
Good luck.
