Here's the deal, there's no doubt that he is charging for his labor time. If the brake shoe has 40% left, you might as well do it because the labor's been paid for. Giving the customer an opportunity to evaluate the situation prior to closing it back up is the best bet.
If you don’t know already and a friendly reminder those holes on the drum; you can use a bolt that fits and when you ratchet it in it’ll push the drum out
Just put a couple bolts, one will probably even work by itself, into the face of the drum where it’s drilled. It’s designed that way to allow you to push the drum off instead of killing your ears trying to beat it off

Drum brakes??? Wow didnt think those still existed
*jacks the car up and puts it on a stand
*leaves it on the jack as well
Good mechanic and seem to be a cool guy, but FFS, put on some shoes or boots! Crocs or sandles on the job is Embarrassing and unacceptable.
I’m shocked a Corolla would have drum brakes
Yet another HB jack and stands… pretty good stuff.
Just change the damn brake shoes since yiu have them and make some money

You can tell he’s a southern mechanic. There’s not chunks of rusted frame falling off with every smack
You wouldn't be in Colorado for some work. Would you?

Good to see another honest mechanic. Not many about these days.
I thought every manufacture got rid of drum brakes
How much total for this job/new drums and shoes for rear corolla
"Make sure the e-brake is down" a mistake we have all made at least once lmao
Nicely done but do your self a favour, lose the safety crocs
