Hi everyone, this is my first time owning a car. It’s a 2020 Honda civic. I had the « service » light turn on so I took it in to my local Honda service center. These are the issues they flagged and the estimated cost for each. Are these prices fair? Or are these things I can easily/safely learn to do on my own? (Ignore the wiper insert replacement, I can definitely do that on my own)

Thank you in advance!

    Brake fluid is 3 years rec in most car brands.

    I inherited a car where the fluid had not been changed regularly. Brake lines rusted out. Expensive fix at a mechanic and a real tough DIY job.

    Brake fluid is like $10. You need some tubing and an old Gatorade bottle and a person to pump the brakes. It’s not difficult.

      The lines rusted out outside to inside tho.

      It would be funny to assume a lil water inside the pipe destorys it while the outside of the pipe is out in the elements.
