Brake and Power Steering Flush?

Better do both every week just to be safe.

Well I've been doing this (lube) kind of stuff for a very long time and it's a rip. True some times the system can get contaminated, but that takes such a long time and you would know if the break system got contaminated because the break booster would fail. I've ran several breakchecks. Break fluid is curosive anyways and can cause rust. While flushing the system wont hurt it is not a have to. Same with powersteering fluid flush. Plus you would be able to see if you need to flush these. They do not get the heat that motor oil gets so they will last longer then the car. Put it this way, if your radiator fluid is good for 60k you can beat the break and power steering is good for far better.

well i had my brake fluid semi changed. my boy works as a mechanic and i took it to him and they have a machine that just sorta sucks everything up from the master cyliner and then u can just refill it, although its not a tru flush so to speak it does replinish most of the fluid in your system

The real flush is a 5 gal can of fluid with a hose on the botton and an air hose on the top. The crack all the bleeders open and blow the fluid through all of the lines at once until the fluid is clean red. I use to charge 40 or so.
