Whens the last time you replaced your brakes.

$150 sounds like a dealer price for brake fluid change/flush.

Per owners manual you're well past needing to change your brake fluid. Every 2 yr/30,000 miles.

And yeah $150 is probably to flush all the old stuff and replace, which is surprisingly reasonable a price from a dealer.

That's much worse than Mercedes dealer pricing for brake fluid flush.
