How much tread left on my tires? [pics]

Took my car in for minor service, had them check my tires because I recently hit a pretty bad pot hole. Anyways, they told me I got 5mm fronts and only 1mm on my rears. They said I need to change rears NOW. Look at them myself quiclky and they didnt seem that bad to me. I took it to another dealership and had one of them use their gauge to measure right in front of me. This time they got 5mm fronts and 3mm rears. Still recommands to change rears, but at this point, I dont know who to believe. Below is pics of my rear tires
