Dave, if you do wind up needing to buy rotors or drums, be sure to ask the supplier if they offer a discount to servicemen. We do it all the time, no problem.

Here's a tip if you tackle the rears yourself. Take off both wheels & drums, but do NOT disassemble the shoes on both sides at the same time. One at a time instead. There are several springs involved, & the best way to get them correct is to refer to the (assembled) opposite side.

And please, if the rotors are actually bad rather than just worn, replace them. Regardless of the car's value or how long you'll have it, it needs to be safe!!
