Q: Dan, Need to know the following estimates on when to replace Drive Belt and Brake Fluid

asked by on February 03, 2017

Toyota Service just hit me with a drive belt replacement and brake fluid replacement at 70K miles. Wanted to know if these are reasonable repairs at this low mileage. Expected the drive belt to be replaced at 90K not 70K.

My car has 70820 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
