The only reason the mechanic is suggesting to replace the rotors and pads is because they have to be taken off the car anyway. New replacement parts for the drrum brakes is about $20. New rotors $120 and pads $30. All prices from FCPgroton, all OEM parts.
$400 is about half the price from what the dealer charges.
You didn't say if you ever use the ebrakes. I find it suspicious that a clicking noise is caused by rear drum brakes. I would have suspected a rock stuck in the treads or a nail.
