My 01 sedan has 24k miles on it and the rear brakes have been squeeking for the past 6 months. No metal on metal sound. I live in the desert and drive about 1.5 miles to work and back home at lunch time (two stop lights). Top speen is 35MPH so I don't do a lot of braking. The local shop wants $135 to examine the rear drum brakes or $170 to replace them. The front disks are fine. Should I pay for the inspection or just have them replaced? Is this common?
