I have a 2002 Toyota Camry XLE w/ 41K miles that I have maintained regularly since day one. The dealership is recommending a "Brake Fluid Exchange" and an "EFI Service". I am a little skeptical and unsure if this really necessary; it also seems to be their upsell item of the month. What do you think? Thanks for your time.

These are always pushed as up sales on vehicles for service, and although both are necessary often times they are pushed because they are easy money for the techs and the shop. I would check my brake fluid, if the color is dark or black then you might want to consider a fluid exchange. However the EFI Electronic fuel injection cleaning can be done with an cleaner purchased from a autoparts store and just put in the gas tank.
