estimate of repair costs

I have a 1998 Ford Explorer with 163,000 miles on it. All is well, but I do need a new oxygen sensor and my brakes are squeaking a bit. I believe my rotars (sp?) just need to be turned and my brake pads replaced. Can you give me a general estimate on price to have these things done? I don't want to get ripped off and I am having to go somewhere else other than my regular repair guy.

Thank you for your time,

o2 sensors are probably 45-90 or so dollars, pads are probably 20 dollars on up, rotors are usually not turned down anymore, they are just replaced, they're probably 45 dollars on up,, of course these prices are estimates depending on brand and grade,,, these are price estimates if you're buying the parts at an auto parts store,, labor I'm not that familiar with, call around, be carefull, some chains will push all kinds of extra crap on you, don't pay crazy high prices for so-called lifetime parts,, are you getting an engine code pointing to your o2 sensor??
