| 18,000 miles seems early to be due for brake pad replacement. It just seems odd that at 18k, certified used car, dealer maintained, that it should need ANYTHING!!! Have the dealer check maintenance records for the brake fluid flush. If it has not been done, it's time. Do yourself a favor. Call around and get prices on this service. In Arizona, the prices go from $39.99 for a complete flush and brake inspection to $115.99 at other places (dealers). Trust your mechanic. DON'T just go to the dealer because the last owner did! |
