I just got a B1 Maintenance Minder notification and I looked at what items are supposed to be serviced per the Owner's Manual. My dealer has an online "B Maintenance Service" discount coupon for $137.95 plus tax & hazmat. It includes "Cleaning/Lubrication of Brake Components" an item which I don't see listed in the Owner's manual.
I called the dealer & was told they clean up the brake dust & lube the sliding parts. Obviously this is more than just inspecting these items as per the manual. I've always done my own brakes & lubed where required. But I never removed & lubed parts every year, for example, for no apparent reason.
Is this just a money grab for the dealer? Or are Civic brakes notorious for sticking/acting up & the dealer is truly being proactive?
Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.
Thanks
