    at work we charge about 130 for auto.
    we dont do diff srvices as the oil is suposed to last the life of the car

    take it to a brake place and get them to take it for a drive and they will tell you if theres some thing wrong
    also get them to change the brake fluid that will cost about $30-$40

    I paid $110 for a service on my transmission fairly recently. I would agree with xcop5l and say get the fluid changed first if your brakes are spongy. As he said, it shouldn't cost the earth.
