My Brake Fluid on my 2000 Kia Sephia is bad. The repair shop charges around $100. How hard is it to flush on my own? Will I have to bleed the brakes after?How to Flush/Change Brake Fluid?
Find another shop that will do it for about $60.
The main purpose of changing of brake fluid includes the bleeding of brakes. Just draining and filling the reservoir is pretty much useless.
You could do it yourself, but a shop with a power brake bleeder(pressurized) will do a much better job, plus they'll get the job done faster and therefore charge you less for labor.
You can also buy a powerbleeder if you can justify the cost.How to Flush/Change Brake Fluid?

Search google for %26quot;diy brake bleeder%26quot; and you can make a pressure bleeder for less than $20. If you are mechanically inclined and can do some work to your vehicle, oil changes, brake pads, spark plugs, you will be able to do this. If you don't think you can, don't mess with your brakes- too dangerous if you don't think you are able.
