If any garage quotes for a full brake fluid change then thats what you should get. All lines bled and with fresh brake fluid including all 4 calipers.

Anything less is a breach of the trades description act, not to mention making them a thief and dangerous B*stard.

Never assume anything with garages. Ask directly what they plan to do for the money & if in doubt ask for the old parts in a box and receipts for new parts as proof of works.

If they don't like it - tough - you can take your business elsewhere or get the spanners out yourself.

The actions of a few greedy idiots (or lot depending on which newspaper you read) tar the reputation of the true professionals - and that's just not in the mechanical trade either. Sad state of affairs.

Regarding the OP: Change the MC, change all the fluid and put 4 new bleed nipples in for the next guy.
