Help installing new brakes . . .

Hi. I purchased new brake rotors, pads, and front steel brake line. Will look to upgrade brake fluid as well. Now I need to install them.

I'm a new driver and I would like to learn a thing or two about repair and upkeep. Is there who can help, make a recommendation,
know people, a good shop with fair prices, etc ?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Oh, wow. Thank you so much for the amazing response.

The brake rotors, pads, and front steel line should arrive by early next week. I am also waiting on new wheels. They should arrive tomorrow.

Would you be so kind as to estimate cost ? Thanks again.
