Here's part three. My son picked up his car after having the wheel
cylinder 
replaced. They said the shoes didn't need replacing; they just cleaned
them. 
However, the original item -- that his parking brake didn't work, which
the 
shop said was because there was brake fluid on the rear shoes, still isn't

resolved! He's bringing it back into the shop tomorrow.

When he had gone in there, the guy checked the parking brake, and told him

that it was adjusted correctly (3-4 clicks). However, the brake still
isn't 
holding the car. With the brake fluid out of the drum and the shoes
cleaned, 
it should worked.

Something about this shop doesn't smell right.
