tune-up??

hey guys, i have a long trip ahead of me. i'm gonna get the oil changed, belts, fluids checked etc.. nissan (ofcourse) also offered to check the brakes for $50+ . i do mostly hwy driving, and i don't use them agressively, obviously they work fine. is it worth the $50+ to have them checked?; moneys tight right now. they said that they were going to check the brakes or "premature wear, etc.." my car is working fine, no problems at all; just afraid that something will come up AFTER the check up..thx.

screw nissan, check brakes yourself! $50 just to peep at your brakes aint worth it, some places will check your brakes for free.

Damn, $50 just for inspection? Take your care to Sears and they should charge you nothing.

Most shops will check your brakes for free. I think there is even a law about it. **** Nissan....
