Brake Fluid change cost
I'm sure this has been asked many times, but search of the forum yielded nothing on point.
Would anyone like to chime on what to expect to pay for a dealer to the brake fluid service (change)? I just want to know what to expect in case they quote a really inflated number. Thanks! |

My independant BMW specialist shop charged me $162.50 out the door with tax. I don't believe the BMW dealer near me would have been much more. But note that every market is different and dealers can charge more or less.
Don't let just anyone perform a brake fluid change/bleed. You have to have the appropriate scan tool to open up the ABS valves to bleed it completely. Otherwise old fluid is left behind in the ABS system. |

I just get fluid changes every two years in all my cars, but basing it on moisture content is a legit method as well. Ferrari since 2013 includes 7 years free maintenance with their cars, which includes brake fluid changes every other year. A few years ago, I heard they started using a moisture checking tool, and if it passes, they won't change it.
