Expensive service?

eeetee · 2011-01-21 11:12:52

Just had service/ MOT, final bill was quite expensive. The garage where I got it done does offer a price match service, just wondered what other moneysavers would expect to pay to have the following done: -indicator bulbs x2 -brake fluid/ anti freeze change -front brake pads -3 x wipers -spark plugs any guesstimates?

Brake fluid should be changed every two years.

Thats rubbish. I've never changed brake fluid for the sake of it in my life and never had a problem; and I've had some pretty old cars ! I think the whole brake fluid change thing is a recent innovation of dealers trying to recover their reduced profits on car sales through servicing costs.
