Default Brake Fluid Change $140

I'm at 30K and am going to get the oil change and brake fluid done at the dealership, but will change the filters myself. I was quoted $140 for the brake fluid job itself at the dealership. Is this about right?

That sounds about right. One hr of labor, around $110-120 dollars plus the brake fluid.

Agreed. There are many reputable independent shops in Socal that will do that for much less.

Theres Vinam Auto Repair and Dynamic just to name a few
