Mark- It seems (IMO) that various muffler and brake shops often have
"specials" that seem to benifit them more so than anyone spending their cash.
I am no expert on or at anything but I have flushed the wrong brake fluid from
Beams by using the right brake fluid and unless the fluid was extremely old or
contaminated in some way, WHY would you flush the syestem? Sounds like it may
be a good thing for a few cars and a great thing for the business end of the
flush.. Again, IMO.

Brake line flush-non Tiger
I was in a Mienike Muffler shop the other day
for an annual state safety
inspection with one of my cars. The salesman was
trying to convince me
that I should go for their $99 "brake flush" special.
Told him it sounded
kind of steep for a 1/2 hrs. labor. He said most of the
cost was for
materials. I said for a quart of brake fluid? He said no,
they used a brake
flushing kit which consisted of a special brake system
flushing fluid, plus a
hose that came in the kit and then the brake fluid.
I passed on the great
special.
I got thinking later that to really flush
the system would require some
kind of solvent. Then, how do you get the
solvent out of the system....flush
brake fluid through it 5 or 6 times? I
realize that I learn something new
every day, so.....has anyone ever heard
of anything to clean the complete
brake system other than brake fluid?
Anyone ever heard of a kit? I
surely haven't.
Mark
