How would they know the drums are faulty ... did them take them off the car? Surely not!

Jalapeño, IISY?

I go with this!!

Surely you'd have to have a very obvious problem for them to say that. At the risk of making an inflammatory comment, could the tester just be looking for trouble. It happens!!

I would take them off - if that

(and that can be fun), clean them up and tell them you fitted some used ones. As long as they pass the meter test, WTF.

Yes, I need drums and not brake shoes. What do you have and how much would you want for them?

Possibly failed on ovality?. Never met a mechanic that knows how to correctly test brakes, ( i am a brake tester engineer!). Get the drums off for a look first before spending money. I have some drums here after fitting disks to the rear.
Do you have a brake test printout?

If you replace drums then you need new shoes.
Also if you replace disks then always replace the pads.

I still can't get my head round how they did hands on to find ovality. I can only think pulsing on the application.
