water in fluid + heat = bad day

I was thinking of getting something like it, so if they're demoing it on a Max, it obviously works on our cars. My train of thought was you pay $50-$70 to flush the braking system, and little do you know unless you watch them, they will often not do the four calipers (usually skip the rears). So the joke's on you (figuratively), the idiot who didn't DIY. With everyone being CSI nowadays, just check your rubber bleeder caps for wetness. If it's bone dry, you can rest assured the mechanic did not undo the bleeder valve. From what I've heard, ABS is different in that the fluid circulates, so they justify the cutting of the corner and often only bleed the fronts.

Now the other thing was I'm not sure how much longer I'll have the Max, and I've also seen on the web that people can't do the brakes themselves (flush) when they have DSC, which most 2k6 cars have now anyway. That's why I'm unsure about getting something like it.

Careful, Frank. That's like saying if they have a picture doing it on an F18 Hornet that it obviously works on an F18.
