That's crazy cheap considering it included a brake fluid change and a coolant change. I don't know why you would need to replace either of those after 20,000kms though...

That's great price.... My E39 is comming up for a service and since my office is close to Eagle Farm, I'll use them instead of BMTS @ Brendale.

Brake fluid change is required every 2 years because it absorbs moisture from the air which reduces its purpose. I also do a coolant change at 2 years for good preventative maintanaince.

I didn't think Chappy had owned his car for that long.. I'm due for brake fluid at the moment and i'm not overly keen to bleed the brakes as i've never done it before.. I might just have to take a trip down for brisbane for that sort of money..

Doesn't 2 years fly! Did you get them to stamp the book? Bit of a mark up on the oil, but they all seem to do that.

I might take mine there for a 'scheduled' oil change in the next week or two, thanks mate.
