DIY and save a bundle
I performed both tasks on my 2009 RT and it involved the cost of the fluids essentially. I did replace the front and rear brake bleeder valves with speed bleeders which made the brake fluid flush much easier. The final drive fluid change on an '09 is pretty straightforward and easy, the instructions in the tech section of this forum and Jim Von Baden's DVD on basic maintenance were both quite helpful. I say take your time, get to know your machine better, DIY, save a bundle and feel a sense of self confidence about your new found mechanical abilities!
