well, i would say, there are 3 possibilities.
1. you drove with your parking brake on. 2. you hammer the brakes every single stop...I doubt this because the front discs normally wear out much faster than rear drum brakes. 3. your dealership is full of s--t and they are trying to rip you off. If you do not have access to a jack and a air gun, use the cars emergency jack like you are changing the tire for the spare, then dis engage the park brake and pull on the drum till it comes off, you may need to tap at it with a hammer. then, inspect the brake shoes, they are the C shaped plates that clamp on the drum. If they have less than 2mm of material on them, you will see a little line where the metal bracket seperates from the pad material. if it is less than 2 mm, the shop is telling the truth and you need new rear brakes.
