The cleaning is recommended to be done after winter so that all the salt and mud collected in the brakes during the winter is removed.bumping an old thread for the start of winter.
looks like kal tire increased their prices for the brake service. my location is charging $60 per axle.

It definitely won't hurt to get it done prior to winter, but it's definitely even more important to get it done after as the lube will not last the whole winter and there will be a lot of sand/mud/salt in there.I thought I read earlier in the thread that it was recommended to do it before winter (especially your first one) so that the lubrication is in place over the winter to help prevent corrosion in the first place?

Regen is reduced if battery is cold or at a high state of charge.
BTW, still on original discs and pads after 279,000 km and never done "brake service". Car has never been garaged.
The 20k brake service is NOT just for a Model 3This service is for Model 3 - you seem to drive a P85D !
Here’s a video from the Electrified Garage that can help illustrate what Gitmart said:Technically brake service is recommended on most car makes now, especially in bad conditions. We just don't typically do it because we feel ripped off... I've preferred changing my brakes (myself) when they are done instead of yearly cleanings because I think I save money, and don't have to touch the car often. Now, on my Tesla, I DO intend to clean them every year (myself). The brakes are really not used as much, the guide pins seem to seize etc. That could cost way more (changing calipers etc) than cleaning.
Good deal from Vancouver area Tesla Service center .Just got a quote for my 2019 Model 3 brake service: $61.25 for ALL 4 wheels!!
Oh wow, that's not chump change.....Estimate I got for brake service in Toronto (Lawrence) last week was $225 + HST.
However after the vehicle was brought in, they wanted me to replace front calipers, pads, rotors, and rear rotors at a cost of $1900
Last time I did the brake service was in 2019, a bit less than 2 years. I suspect not driving as much during 2020 may have made things worse. The estimate says "Corrosion Present - Medium".
