I have done some work myself like water pump thermostat and belts. So I'm not a complete noob. Please help need to do this ASAP as the brakes are grinding

It isn't more complicated than other vehicles, but you haven't done brakes before and they are a safety system. Add in the cost of tools, jack stands, etc if you don't have them.
