Lines/fluid change cost? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So i've got new steel lines and DOT4 brake fluid for my 1LE. Since I'm not very experienced in doing upgrades myself and don't have tools needed, I want someone who knows what he's doing to replace the lines and change the brake fluid for me. Meineke guys told me they can do it for $300, dealer said $700. Even $300 sounds too much for me, I thought it should be cheaper. Suggestions?

You could buy the tools and do it yourself for less

well, yeah, but I don't have a garage yet, and I need a bleeder, and jack stands, and tools, so buying all this can get me to $100 while some places can do everything for $130-150. I'll get there eventually, but for now I want a professional to do it.

How about invest in a product that will allow you to bleed and change your break fluid more then once rather then pay someone? Don't be scared of a little challenge. You can knock it out.
