Brake Flushing/SF Bay area

Guys,

Sonnen Posche quoted me $ 150 for a brake flushing. Do you know of any independent shop close by and how much they charge?

thxs.

You could try Sharkwerks, though you will end up buying new rims, a roll bar, a supercharger or something, so just bring enough cash to get the brakes done.

Why not just do it yourself? It'll cost you less than $40 for the brake bleeder and $15 for the fluid, and the next time, it'll only cost you the $15 for the fluid.

Anything under $200 seems quite fair. One dealer near me charges $350, and another just sent me a coupon for $200. I just did it myself because I didn't want anyone to scratch my wheels or chrome lug bolts. Having done it myself (admittedly, for the first time) I can't imagine how someone can do it in one hour and still be at all careful with your wheels and keeping corrosive brake fluid off your painted calipers.
