Two-year maintenance

Subscribe to Remove Ads
My car is telling me that I'm due for my second two year service next month. On previous cars I've only ever changed brake fluid when doing full brake work, like rebuilding calipers. But seeing as this car is a pretty big investment chunk for me, and I haven't had to pay for any other kind of service in four years, I don't think it's stupid to follow the recommended interval.

So the question remains, how much are people getting charged for a two year service? What should I expect?
 
You can buy moisture test strips for your brake fluid. Changing brake fluid every one-two years seems excessive. Dealerships need to make money off of EVs somehow.
 
I just called a local BMW/MINI dealership and told him my car is telling me I need a standard SE 2-year inspection and brake fluid change, and he told me each of those is $199.95 plus taxes, so a total of CA$459.79 (~US$327). Uh yeah nah. I'll get the test strips. Anybody know which OBDII app will reset the dashboard BS?
 
Can't remember if I did the 2-year maintenance since there's no warning lights and everything's in OK status.
April 2023 delivery, it is over 83000 miles on the clock now. On 2nd set of Hankook tires (1st set ran for 61000 miles!).
Coolant flush for US$270 ish at about 51,000 miles (can't remember why I did it).​
Driver side windows regulator replaced for US$404 (out of warranty repair b/c it's over 50K when happened).​

Everything else's fine! LOVE this little thing other than the windows regulator wire snapped, it's a defect and I have to pay for it because it is out of warranty.
