Ken, I think you just got a lesson in 'dealership anatomy'.

They just pointed out to you the 'profit center' of the operation.

Seriously, little things like this are a big money-maker for a lot of shops, especially since brakes are one of the things nobody thinks of or checks till they make noise or something. Up here one very large national chain has started offering 'free brake inspections'. Free till they tell you that your car needs brakes that is......

But it is true that the sliders and adjusters do seize up pretty regularly on most cars, combination of brake dust and rust usually does it. However, anything more than once a year is just a waste of time and money IMHO.

Best of luck.
