I have a local mechanic that specializes in tire sales and brake and shocks. But, he will do more if needed.
I had 115k miles on my Prelude and I figured it was time for it's first new pads...at a minimum. I dropped it off at his place...didn't want to mess with the brakes myself.

I got a call back later and he said "you have over half of the pad life left...we can do new ones, but you should get a few more years before needed. Rotors look good" I thanked him and picked up the car.

It would have so easy for him to just 'do it, for the sale'...but he was honest about it.

Being a manual....saves on brake work.
