I know, I know, I keep the brake saddles swimming nicely, but the rear brakes only get about 20% of the brake force and if you’re not hooning most of the braking is done by the engine anyway. I’d actually pay for drums in the rear and I’m a bit envious of VW id owners because they get them.
Rotors can get rusty when you haven’t driven for a while, but it’s just cosmetic. That’s no reason to replace rotors. Even if you end up with a bit of grooving from bits of sand in the pads (especially on the rear discs) it’s no issue.
Something else is wrong, or your mechanic is taking you for a ride.

Dude, no way. This is not remotely normal!
