Brake flushes arent part of Service B and cabin filter may be but you still pay for the parts, like new wiper blades. It's been said all along - Service B is oil/filter change, wiper blades and cabin filter (pay for parts), and some other minor useless items they 'check' but then can charge you for.

I did my brake fluid today.. took about 2 hours (would have been less if I could find my jack stands). jack up.. remove wheel, bleed, put wheel back on, drop jack, next wheel.. rinse and repeat...
A side note.. since my wife is so anti wheel cleaner/brake cleaner (they contain lye and are pretty toxic), while I had the wheels off, I decided to clean them, a soft scrubbing brush, and a good mixture of vinegar and water (50/50 mix) removed most of the brake dust...
I am going to need pads soon though.. Time to figure out whether I want oem or aftermarket.. I think some of it will come down to price of the pads...
