Q: Does wheel need removed to do brake fluid

asked by on November 25, 2016

Took 2012 CRV into service to change brake fluid. They never removed the wheels nor even looked at the brakes. Only thing i saw was them putting in a can of fluid and lowering and raising the car a few times. Im concerned that they never did the job correctly.

My car has 28548 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
