She needs to avoid going repair shops without an escort until finds that she can trust them. Midas and Monroe are the worst for recommending useless repairs. The use gimicks like: tune up, free tire rotations (then charge for removing and reinstalling the tires), adding air to the tires (that the mechanic conveniently let out momements before), removing 'carbon' from the intake, changing the air filter (even when its brand new). I know this because my wife has been charged for these 'problems.' At one point they tried to pressure her into new shocks and struts when the car only had 40k miles, it would only have cost her $2500 to have the work done.
These shops seem to prey on unsuspecting customers, usally women. To get around this, I usually follow her into the shop wearing an oil stained shirt and torn oil-stained jeans. When I'm standing next to her, looking over the invoice, they don't seem to offer the BS repairs. It's not a great solution, but it has worked for us.
On the brake flush, it's probably not needed unless she has been having brake trouble.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
