I drive old car, and don't go to dealer. However, dealer are trained to follow the book. This is the part I don't like. I like practical. Like Merc Benz's repair concept is "Fix when it failed"
New driver may not able to inspect the problem yourself, so it may be hard to follow this practice. The concept is whatever they tell you need repair, inspect it visually yourself. Whatever they said as preventive maintenance, don't do.
For brake fluid, I don't see the point of cleaning it. Replace the whole fluid for $10, + $30 labor. Isn't that cleaner than spending $90+$40 to flush it?
No comment about your spring. You need to specify your car model in order to comment. Anyway, spring does not brake easily, unless your car is very old, no maintenance, drive in very poor rood condition, and rusted
