Ron ... I understand what you're saying about dealership part prices, but like said previously, when anyone buys a brake assy (it's cheaper than buying individual parts) it comes with magnets, shoes, springs, and adjuster already assembled on the backing plate ... it's a totally bolt on deal. If they're charging you separately for magnets (they run almost $50 each) ... tell them you just didn't fall off the turnip truck. Also as previously pointed out, what is the reason for drum replacement? Grease wipes right off. If moderately scored, turning the drums is way less money. Unless your drums have been turned before, I'd bet they have enough meat left to simply turn them. A good shop can measure the drums and tell if it's feasible. Of course all this haggling over money will be mute if the Goshen shop covers their shoddy workmanship. I'm just trying to lessen the blow should you not get satisfaction from the Goshen shop.
