car been booked for 2nd service next wkend £159 (not to bad i thought) but extra £48 to renew brake fluid !! seems a bit steep,should i bother ? car only got 12k on the clock,opinions please

buy it yourself itl be cheaper

wouldnt bother yet mate mines only got 12,000 on the clock and never done mine.

i had my second service done. ford said brake and power steering fluid should be replaced and added that they usually do so every 2 services.

Only because they want your money

oh they love the money all right. The quote for an hour's work was some 40Euro ...some 33 for you out there.

An hours labour, £30 odd quid, thats bloody cheap

i thought that was expensive to ask for. however i think they exaggerate on the hours then. It took ME 5 hours to install the power button. Would have taken them 2 hrs at max knowing what they were doing. they wanted a 5hr job pay ...

To give u an idea, an hours labour at a Honda dealer for my bike is £60 inc VAT

most places seem to be £50+ ph labour now,not going to bother with the brake fluid will do it next time
