    Brake Fluid Job/Cost?

    I've got this brake fluid light that came on under "Service Required". Based on a couple of quotes, it sounds like this will cost around $150-175. I was just wondering, what does this entail, is it merely filling up some brake fluid or additional things such as a flush or something else?

    Thank you!20190613_080521.jpg

    that appears to be about right $$ and they should use a machine to flush and replace the fluid.

    Correct. It is a total flush of the braking system. Typically done with a pressure or vacuum bleeder.

    Our guys will use a turkey baster to suck out the fluid in the master cylinder, then replace that with fresh fluid. Then put a pressure bleeder on there, and push fresh fluid thru each of the 4 brake lines till it runs clear.
