Chalk this up to another "dealer ripoff" charge.
I do most of my maintenance myself, oil, brake pads, rotors, cabin filters, diff oil, transfer case oil, etc.
But I don't have the proper tool to pressurize the brake system to flush it after two years. So since I wanted all the recall work to be done, I wanted to flush the tranny and brake fluid.
My service advisor said the tranny fluid is not scheduled for a flush until 150K miles (I'm at 44K) so I decided to hold off and just flush the brake system. The charge was $421.20. That's right, for what probably took 1 hour, they charged me over $400 dollars. I actually laughed when he gave me the estimate and asked whether he was kidding. Anyway, I can guarantee I won't have the dealer flush my brake fluid in another 2 years.
Post your charges for a brake fluid flush or ideas on what tool we need to avoid this charge in the future.
cheers!
