Since the parking and rear brakes are independent systems, it's probably the sliders or the piston. They want to change the rotors because they're probably heat checked/cracked/too thin to machine. Generally, you don't want to install new pads to a rotor that been worn in by the old pads. New/machined rotors will run true and have a fresh surface for the new pads to bed.

Not sure why all the DIY vids don't clean the mounts, where the new hardware is installed. More often than not, the cast steel starts to scale and the hardware fits too tight and doesn't allow the pads to slide freely. Also, it doesn't hurt to make sure the sliders move freely and add some extra lube. I also hate seeing people take their wheels off for one reason or another and not bother to wire brush the hub centre, where the wheel sits. An extra 10minutes and thin coat of anti-seize, ensures your wheels are seated properly.

What did the dealer say about installing customer supplied parts?
