I have been quoted £60 plus VAT for a much needed brake fluid change for my Yaris. I normally pay this much for larger cars with brakes on all four corners.

Correct me if I'm wrong but as the Yaris only has brakes up at the front, and not the rear, doesn't that mean that the time to bleed and refill the brake fluid should be half the time compared to a car with brakes on all four corners?

Or am I wrong and even on the Yaris 1.0 vvti it has brake fluid bleed valves on all four sides?

Therefore should I be quoted half the price, aka £30 plus VAT?

    SRSLY? OMG LOL !!!!!!.


    No, really, are you actually having a laugh?


    Are you?


    Half the price because a Yaris has half the brakes? Really. Are you taking the wee-wee?


    That has to take the cake for your funniest post ever. You've ACTUALLY tried giving people advice on what cars to buy, then you come on here saying your Yaris only has brakes on the front?


    Words fail me.

    Yes, thats correct, there is no brake discs/calipers or pads at the rears. Only for the fronts. This is normal for smaller cars

    Have you ANY idea what you're talking about, or have you finally confirmed to us all that you literally are completely clueless about vehicles.

    Obviously. Just like the Lexus was 'delivered'. It was written so obviously in jest.

    Anyway, I thought you had an A3 now? Or is that another 'joke'?


    ETA: I've just screen-captured this page, just so I can go back in the future if I need a laugh.
