I think the dealer was really saying that the brake flush is $115 and if the cabin air filter is replaced on that same service the total bill would be $170. That sounds more reasonable as the cabin filter retails for about $30, so that would make labor $25 for a total of $55 to change the cabin air filter. Some owners who changed their own cabin air filter failed to make sure the filter housing was installed properly and the seals on the housing was misaligned.

Water leaked into the filter cavity and shorted out the blower motor. When the blower motor is not working, you will not get air exhausting out of your vents which means that your AC and heater, and front window defroster will not function properly. This is a big problem and a safety issue also for not doing a simple 5 minute job properly.
