I have a reusable AFe air filter so I clean that myself, and service B is recommended every 20000kms/1y. However, I've skipped service B twice now since my car is still at 15000kms and the brakes have been functioning completely fine.

Normally, I wouldn't be one to skimp on car maintenance, but service B costs $480 (price is pretty normal for Canadian Subaru dealerships) while A only costs $130, so the huge increase in price along with my relatively low mileage makes me hesitant. I'm planning to get service C on time though, which includes a brake fluid flush along with "brake service" at the 3 year mark regardless of mileage.

The last thing is that looking through the new 86's, and the previous FR-S', maintenance schedules have no regular recommended maintenance for the brakes like the BRZ despite being the same car fundamentally.

Do you guys think I can just skip it until service C?

If you winter drive the car the service B is not a bad investment. If not I would leave it and do the Service C on time as you said.

On a side note the Service B cost me $317 (all in) at Toyota.
