Find a shop that works on track cars. I drive 2 hr 45 min (one way) to do routine maintenance at the beginning of track season and it's still much cheaper than taking her to the stealership.

Be happy you don't go to the dealer I bought from. Got my brake fluid flush done at the 3 year mark with about 19k miles (under warranty), took it in for an oil change 2 months ago and they quoted me $250 for another one (I have 24k miles now) and a $150 for another vehicle inspection.
I told the service advisor to reset the warning message but she said they wouldn't without doing the service. I told her it's not necessary I just got it done 5k miles ago and the car has less than 25k miles total, what is there to inspect. Maybe she was trying to rip me off but I'm inclined to think she just doesn't know what she's talking about so I declined the service.

Isn't brake fluid flush/replacement covered under warranty / Condition Based Service at the 30k miles or 3 years? Confused why some people seem to be paying for this when its listed in the service manual at those times?

I have 18,000 miles and warranty is over by now. I do not track my car so I would imagine that my brake fluid still like new. so I will reset the warning and wait until the next one.

You can leave car in a garage for 2 years, and you will need to change brake fluid. |

It's very easy to do yourself, plenty of youtube vids for this platform out there. I recommend the Schwaben bleeder over the Motiv, it's a higher quality product IMO. And actually currently on sale and in stock: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-schwaben.../007237sch01a/ |

I've only read about people needing to do the ABS cycle if they accidentally got air in the system.

Use copper test strips to determine oxidation. I suspect it will be fine.

Of course, one can do it, but not necessary. |
