You're an idiot.

Forget the obvious point that $100 to change spark plugs on most modern cars is stupid.

Let's just concentrate on the basic brake line flush, which you say is so easy and so simple and it should be $50 and your cousin should be able to do it in his backyard. Modern vehicles ALL have ABS units as part of the hydraulic system, in order to fully flush the brake system you MUST flush and bleed the ABS unit, in order to do this you MUST have at least a level 4 automotive scanner capable of bidirectional control so that you can bleed the ABS unit, this can NOT be done without the scanner. These scanners START at $2K. So yeah, if you want to have your neighborhood grease monkey do a half arse job, go for it.
