I believe I have been SCAMMED by this company. After taking my car in for a recall, I received a call saying the brake and power steering fluids were in desperate need of a flush (this despite having had my car serviced - elsewhere - 11 days earlier and new tyres and brake pads 5 days earlier neither of which revealed the brake fluid 'emergency'). Unfortunately, feedback from the service was in the glovebox so I couldn't check it but it later revealed that brake fluid had been okay 11 days earlier and, presumably, 5 days earlier when brake work was done. Circumstances and convenience, plus assurance from the person on the phone that they would never rip me off, resulted in me agreeing to the flushes to the value of $280. A week later, a work colleague took his car in for the same recall. When he received a phone call saying he needed the same flushes, alarm bells rang (I had told him of my experience) so he said 'no'. Consequently, he took his car to his regular mechanic who showed him that his car indeed did not need the fluids flushed. I know it was my choice to say 'yes' but, knowing nothing about cars, I can only rely on and trust what I am told.
