Default 08 santa fe brake and power steering flush

Well it looks like its time for a brake and PS flush. I was wondering if there was a certain fluid hyundai uses, since they use a certain trans fluid. I was going to go to the dealership, BUT when they did some warranty work, i noticed their price per hr which was 100... and honestly unless one of those mechanics holds a degree in physics i cant contemplate paying 100 per hr.

You don't really need a full flush. Just pulling out what is in the reservoirs of both and replacing that will be fine.

I just had the 60k miles service done to my Tucson and I requested they also replace the power steering and brake fluid. I was charged $32.65 for the power steering and 32.90 for the brake fluid. In each case the labor was 29.40 for 1/2-hour work. The parts cost was 3.25 for the power steering fluid and 3.50 for the brake fluid.
