Bleeding Brakes

Nah. I checked all the bleeders, they've been wrenched on.

Plus, I can tell there is new fluid in the lines from the increased pedal feel and easiness of braking. Just changing the fluid in the reservoir wouldn't do that.
You have got a great shop! It is reasonable and does not cut corners.

Even some dealer mechanics have confided that many just replace the fluid in the reservoir and call it done.

That's exactly what the mechanic said to me. He said some shops just turkey baster the reservoir and call it a day. He also was very adamant that he spent a lot of money on the brake flush machine so to rest assured it was being done correctly.

Said my car would like it was in the hospital with IV's hooked up to it from the lines going to each bleeder.
