There are people with £70,000 sports cars who will get their brakes discs skimmed down to or below the manufacturers minimum thickness, then come on to this forum to say how much they have saved from not having to fit new brake discs.

I know of no other person in my local car fixing circle who will dispose of opened brake fluid after a year or so.

To be honest, I know of very few local DIY car fixers or local garages who will change brake fluid, gearbox oil, diff oil or antifreeze as they consider it not an issue.

Local garages know if they change these item at the prescribed manufacturers service intervals on cars over three years old, that their customers will go to other local garages who charge a "proper price" for car servicing and not those "Ripoff Barstuards" who charge £50 more for that "stupid stuff".
