Shop owner told me about a salesman who dropped in to demonstrate a guaranteed money-maker for the shop. This is a hand-held brake fluid tester. The salesman said that one could dip it into any master cylinder, and virtually guarantee a fluid change sale.
To prove his point, he asked for an unopened can of brake fluid.
After taking off the top, and removing the seal, he dipped his tester. Sure enough, it showed the new fluid as water-contaminated!!! And, it only cost about $60.
He was shown the door in about 10 seconds. But, maybe all shops aren't quite as reputable.
