I’ve been doing alot of reading, car maintence is crucial and i havent been the best with it. I was curious if anyone has ever had abrake fluid flush? and the pros and cons? is this just a money maker for mechanics or is this a legit thing nowadays? it seems tom e its not even a reccommended service from thecar companies themselves and you knoww how they like to make money… anyone with any suggestions  
  
  
  
 p.s. how often should one change their brake fluid? im not the most car savvy… and i dont know if you change it or fill it…anyones advice would be hgreatly appreciated… thank you, oh and i read brake fluid should be changed every 24,000 miles…is that true? thank you all, havea good day!
