My rear brakes are not working at all. The front ones are working fine. Anything I can check/do before I take it in. Thanks.

may need adjusted

Raise vehicle up enough to get the rear wheels off the ground. On the back side of the hubs you will find a slit with a rubber stopper in it if it's still there. Pull the rubber cap and use a flashlight to look in the slot and you will see a star wheel in there. Turn that star wheel with a screwdriver/flat tip tool to adjust.
