If I were doing this for the wife, girlfriend, daughter I would check the parking brake to make sure it's functional. The men in the family can do their own brakes.
If you're trying to be frugal maybe get the rotors cut and give em a once over in the blast cabinet to make sure the friction surfaces are parallel, don't have the outer and inner rust rings on the friction surface, and the hat doesn't have a bunch of rust. It costs around $20 each here.
