Default on a roll.. rear calibers seized

My 2011 calibers are seized and my 50,000 just ended. Great. How much would this cost to get fixed from a shop? Would I have to replace everything? Lexus told me I had to, but I want second opinions..

Get the guns out of the car and then go to any shop and as them to look at your calipers.

if you haven't figured it out yet .....you put down caliber and not caliper, Some chopped a dodge caliber and placed it over where the rear CALIPER. I actually have to do a double take to catch it. I thought it was funny. But anyways have a mechanic take a look.

if the pads and shims are good just get 2 new calipers and hook them up and bleed the lines. Put the old pads and shims back in there.

Thanks every one. I just paid 20$ to have the pin hammered out and relubed! Saved 400$ today :-) **** stealerships. Paint scratching, rim scuffing idiots.
