Automatics eat brake bads like dinner.
For mainly highway driving, I'm averaging 60K per set.
I ended up getting Ford OEM replacements, and they come with a lifetime warranty on the pads. I'm going to get my rear shoes replaced soon. They're wearing down a bit, but that's after 166+K on them. First set too!
As for servicing, Ford cleans the brake components with brake cleaner and some use a high-heat pressurized washing system. on the rotors and drums.
As for the tire jack, it does pay for itself. The $50 I paid for my set has come in useful for rotations and winter/summer swaps.
