At slow speeds, my 1998 Honda Accord sometimes sounds like it's dragging something under the rear of the car

Maintenance/Repairs

When I’m driving at slow speeds (e.g., drive-thru, parking lot, traffic light), I will occasionally hear a scraping/dragging sound coming from the back of the car. It seems to happen more when I’m turning than when I’m driving straight ahead. If I press the brakes and bring the car to a stop, the sound tends to stop. I bought the car used about 10 months ago with very low mileage, and I haven’t needed to have it serviced. I know nothing about cars, so I’m just wondering how much money I should be expecting to pay and whether there are places I should avoid (where I live it’s extremely difficult to find a freelance mechanic or a non-franchise mechanic with an appointment available within two months, so I’ve gone to places like Midas and Monro in the past).
