your rear calipers could be sticking and it is common on all cars with discs at the back after a few years......................problem is they don't do a lot of work as most of the braking is done by the front brakes.

it's a good habit to frequently test that they are releasing ok when driving the car...............take your foot off the brake slowly when sitting stationary and feel the car move a bit.

at that price they are probably renewing the calipers, pads and discs, as they will not spend time freeing them and just change anything that is faulty.

you need to ask them exactly what they are going to do, and you cannot drive the car if the calipers are sticking.


ps the dealer will not fit new seals in the calipers as per Buz999's post, but renew the caliper.
