Unfortunately I haven't called around to local shops. I figured I already had this appointment scheduled and thought I should stick with it. Perhaps next time. I appreciate all of the help and advise everyone has given me on this topic. Much appreciated!

Now I'm second guessing myself. Perhaps the dealer didn't tell me they'd disconnect the brake lines. I do remember though them saying they'd pour in the new fluid and have it flush out the old fluid.

I called and here's what they said, "The brake lines are disconnected and they drain the fluid from the system by pushing new fluid in while the old fluid drains out." Sounds to me like that's a flush?

Thanks for the replies. They've been very helpful. I asked the dealer for a breakdown of all the services and associated prices for their typical 60K mile maintenance. (I rounded all the costs) Here's what they said: -Oil change - $69.00 -Differential Service - $143.00 -Brake Fluid Service - $67.00 -Fuel System Service - $98.00 -Spark Plugs - $306.00 -Tire Rotation - $20.00 -Engine Air Filter - $35.00. I'm doing the engine air filter myself and don't need the tire rotation. Based off of the advice I've received here, I'm going to tell them to scrap the fuel system and differential services.

Hello all, I called my local Subaru dealer to schedule the 60K service for my 2015 Legacy 2.5. I told them I need the 60K maintenance except for tire rotation (not driving due to COVID), engine and cabin filters (I can change those). The price quoted was $682.00 and includes: -Oil and Filter -Spark Plugs -Brake Fluid -Fuel Induction Service -AWD Service -Inspect everything else per the manufacturer's maintenance schedule I questioned the fuel induction service and AWD service. For the fuel service, they disconnect the fuel lines and run a chemical to clean the lines. I asked if they change the fuel filter as well and unbeknownst to me, this car doesn't have one (according to them, anyway). For the AWD service, they lube the differentials. My question to the experts, are the fuel and AWD services necessary or recommended? I don't see them in the maintenance booklet and I'm afraid it's another add-on by the dealer to increase their revenue and empty my wallet.
