I recently had my Ford Escape in for a 50,000km service at my local dealership. I was told I needed to have the coolant and brake fluid replaced for $280. Is this necessary? I am the original owner of the car and I don't drive it on long distances, only locally to and from work.
If it's not on the service schedule, in the owner's manual, then it's not necessary. Lots of dealers are trying to fluff-up on their servicing to improve their profits, including replacing the likes of coolant and brake fluid at inflated prices.
