I just took in my Caliber this morning for the 20,000 interval of oil change and rotation and brake inspection etc etc. The dealership sent me a coupon for this for a better price for the combo and should be about $62 with tax. Just as I was handing the guy the coupon he said also for the 20,000 interval they also need to service the brakes. I asked how much it would cost and he said it would be $120 something for all 4 brakes and said that this has to be done every 20,000 under the maintenance plan. I was given a maintenance guide that stated "clean & adjust front & rear brakes every 20,000 km". He told me they don't just clean the brakes they take apart the whole brake system and machine the calipers etc etc.
I trust the guy since I have known him for a while now and I'm wondering if this is really needs to be done to avoid voiding the warranty on the brake system or if it is just a cash grab by the dealership and that I don't really need it done?.....
any help would be really great or any other owners past experience with this.
thanks.
