The dealer will usually cost more than an independent or a DIY job. My dealer told me I needed new brakes and rotors. It turns out all I needed were new front brake pads. The dealer quoted me $540 for the job. I had an indy replace my front brake pads for $140--parts and labor.
As Dean stated, you could go DIY and save yourself some money and have the extra money go toward tools. Plus, you would likely learn a lot about your car and derive pleasure from doing your own repairs. I'm not very mechanically inclined, so I have an independent do all my work (unless it's covered under warranty).
So verify whether you really need new rotors. My independent looked at my brakes and concluded rotors were not necessary at 30,000 miles.
