[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1012804, member: 52972"] If you have your brake fluid flushed with every brake job (front or rear) or every 2 years, you don't need to do it at 100K miles. If you have not had your brake fluid flushed in 100K miles...you are way past due...they are not necessarily mileage related maintenance. Tires and things are probably other things that should be checked frequently as part of your regular operating maintenance or at least at each oil change interval. My point is, 100K miles is not a magical number that requires every possible service, if you have been maintaining the vehicle regular. Many of these items like check hoses, tires, wiperblades, lights, body and trim are all things that you should be doing on a regular basis and that can be done at home in your driveway....Don't save them up for 100K miles and then the shop has to keep your vehicle for 3 days to complete everything...and then you get a whopping bill. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
