Can anyone lead me to a good shop to turn my rear brake drums?  They  
seem to have high spots.
If original, they have 54,000 miles and I have no idea if they have  
been turned before.

Any ideas on the cost, and how do I know if they should be replaced  
rather than turned?

I am in Mill Valley, so a shop in San Rafael or Novato would be great.

Thanks
