Default Replace Q7 Rotors & Brake Pads at Audi or a reputable brake shop?

My Q7 has done 60K and needs replacement of both Rotors and pads.

I've got a quote from Audi Canada for CAD 2,531

Front
318 (Labour) + 841 (Hardware) + 13% GST = CAD 1,310
Rear
397.50 (Labour) + 683 + 13% GST = CAD 1,221

Since the vehicle is over 6 years old, would it be okay to have them replaced at a reputable brake specialist instead of an Audi workshop?

Also, I was wondering if the Rotors and Pads are manufactured by Audi or they use some standard brands?

Any help would be much appreciated.

I replaced my own rotors and pads by myself and it wasn't that difficult. Yout tube has numerous videos to do the same.

Sorry can't help you there as I bought mine straight from Audi so they were OEM. Having said that there are a few Canadian German Autopart stores online near you. Here's one example
