Brake fluid change
Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air over time. With water in it, it boils more easily under long braking, for example on mountain descents, and the pedal goes soft and braking weakens. A change means draining and bleeding the whole circuit with the fluid the manufacturer specifies, usually DOT 4. A tester shows how much water the fluid holds.
