Default Good shop near VT for brakes

Alright I have new front rotors and front + rear pads that I need thrown on tomorrow. Best price I've been able to get for the labor is about $85-90. Living on campus, this isn't exactly something I can do without a jack or jackstands in the stadium parking lot lol.

Anyone know any good shops - for $90 or less - where I can take my car tomorrow afternoon? I need to get in and out pretty quick too because I'm going out of town tomorrow and my brakes as they are now are too shitty for a trip.
