Q: Rear drum brakes
Had rear drums/shoes replaced. A day later, right rear sounds like rubbing or creaking when braking at low speed or when stopped and brake is depressed. Brakes had no issues before repair. Only had them replaced because it was recommended to me that I be proactive before they start to wear. Why is this happening with new ones? Should I take the car back? Will they charge me again if its their mistake?
