This was my local dealer's service recommendation for 15 K miles.
Brake Fluid Flush and Replace to avoid costly repairs due to contamination getting into the brake system and cabin filter change for a grand total of $210.
Is brake fluid flush on a car that mostly uses regenerative braking required? Or is stealsership just trying to make up for lost oil change revenue?
I really would like brake service experts to chime in here, because I never used to change my brake fluid, and if anything, it seems brake fluid would be improved. I know modern brakes may get hotter, but the Leaf uses a lot of regenerative barking so what is up with this suggestion?
My gut feeling is I should change my own cabin filter and find a different service dealer.
