Hello...

I had my rear brakes / drums replaced in July 09 for the first time since I had bought my car. I bought my car brand new so it has only had one owner. I lived in MD where traffic is stop and go everyday and I live 20 miles from work. However I took my car in for an oil change today and my mechanic says I need rear brakes again. How often should rear brakes have to be replaced? He also said I needed front brakes too but I realize that's probably because my car is front wheel drive so those don't concern me as much.

Any advice would be great. I just want to know if the shop who replaced them the first time took my money and didnt replace them.

Thanks!!
