Any car guys in here? Post a picture of your other money pit!!

I’m not much of a do it yourself guy....but would like input if “recommended” brake line flushes, rad flushes, fuel injector flushes are really worth the $$$$. The fuel injector service was quoted about $800.
The vehicle is a 2015 RX350 and has no issues.
I’m thinking it’s a make work project for the dealer.

In my opinion, that’s a complete waste of $800.

Brake fluid replacement every 3 years is the only service you listed that I would even consider.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time.
Although If they want $800 for fuel injection service, I can only imagine what they’d charge for the brake fluid exchange.

as for antifreeze flush, I wound check the owners manual. It’s probably good for up to 10 years. even then, it’s just a drain and refill, no flush required.

When it comes to flushes it is all up to your preference. I only flush the brake lines when the fluid is extremely dirty. If ur car is cooling correctly and there is no build up in the reservoir then I wouldn't worry about flushing the radiator. As far as the fuel injectors I just run seafoam through the system about every 6 months and never have any problems out of any of my vehicles.
