[quote=MikeL][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband's brake light was on in his car so he took it to the dealership to get checked. They told him he needed new brakes. The next weekend he took it to our usual place (Virginia Tire and Auto) and they called him back and said all he needed was about 1/4 bottle of brake fluid and that his front and back brakes both had at least 80% of the padding left on them and there was no need for new brakes. Didn't even charge him for the labor to do that. He was so pissed- the dealership he took it to was one we have bought TWO cars from, but we will no longer be going to them thanks to that shadiness.

Good call. FYI brake fluid shouldn't be topped off like motor oil; it should be flushed along with the entire system. It's an important service most people forget and and should be done every 2 years before the fluid turns brown and deteriorates.[/quote]
Don't agree at all. It's a closed system, so no contaminants should get into it like the oil system.
I've had numerous cars for 200+K miles and never had an issue with this.[/quote]
