Sounds like a good plan to me! In all reality changing the fluid every couple of years isnt a bad idea anyway. Also, rear drums are notorious for wearing and going out of adjustment if you don't back up at least 10-15 feet on a regular occasion. The adjusters can freeze up after a while and they wont reseat the shoes against the drum. Don't ask how I know, just take it for a hard lesson on my part!
I personally don't care for Autozone, but it sounds like you found one of the few guys who actually knows what he is talking about.
