My take is this - it's all right for a shop to advise of services, and it's also all right for you to refuse (as long as you do your homework before making the decision). After all, auto shops are legitimately entitled to being paid if they perform the services for you. However, if you don't like their services, you have only a few choices: (1) fight against them to settle on a remedy; (2) turn to another shop; and (3) do it yourself.

Brake line flush is not a big deal, in my view. Strongly suggest LZ try it. However, if you don't like to get hands dirty, or don't like the smell of the many fluids including brake fluid, that's a different story.

anweica's suggestion may not be the "standard" procedure. You need to first buy a couple litres of brake fluid (the right type). With a little wrench you loosen the bleed valve at each wheel. Use a tube and bottle to capture the dirty fluid. Ask a friend to floor the brake pedal, then tighten the bleed valve, then let go of the brake pedal, then top up the fluid. Do this all over again and again, and to all the wheels. The only matter is time.: H( c, J9 L- {

Go to youtube, and type in "brake fluid flush". You will find many useful and illustrative videos.
