Tesla recommends cleaning and lubricating all brake calipers every 12 months or 20,000 km

If I were you I would call your local KalTire location ( Kal Tire | Locations ) and get an estimate from them. I had mine done last April when I swapped my winter tires to summer at KalTire in Milton. The cost was $152.13 (that includes tax). That particular location works on Tesla's and I know that several KalTire locations have experience working on Tesla's.
It's funny that you would make that recommendation.
I was on the phone to my local Kal Tire today to schedule my winter/summer wheel swap and asked about the brake servicing. They told me that they can't work on my brakes because it's a Tesla and they can't service regenerative braking systems.
I opted not to argue.
Currently exchanging messages with an independent shop in Innerkip that specialises in Teslas that I found a link to on a different thread.
Agreed. I decided a long time ago that I'm not going to argue with someone to take my money.
On the other hand, I'm repeatedly hearing good things about Cyril so I'm going to give him a try. And the drive from Waterloo to Innerkip will be the longest jaunt I've taken in my M3 since I picked it up on Oakville back in July. So that'll be nice.
It's roughly the same. 50(ish) kms to Innerkip vs 70(ish) kms to Milton. I've been reading and hearing good things about Cyril's service so I want to give him a try.
FWIW, I quite like doing business with my local Kal Tire here in Waterloo. They treated me very well when I bought my winter tires and did a bunch of swapping of tires between rims. But they don't want to do my brake service so I'll look elsewhere. I'll still likely go back to Kal Tire when I need new tires.
I just chose tires & wheels, close enough. Besides I am fairly certain that someone on the other end reviews and classifies as required, they will at least judge if they can send a mobile ranger out first, and only have you go to a service center if absolutely necessary.

Just to add another data point: I dropped my car at Vancouver Tesla Service Centre a couple days ago and they charged me $122 to service my performance brakes.
They aren't open for Service yet. Carling.
I am scheduled for a tire swap and brake cleaning for about 128$.

I'm going to be picking up my MY in 3-6 weeks and was surprised to see the location in Barrhaven for the pickup. Is the Carling location going to close and move service to the new location?
Yes - Carling was always temporary, partly because another highrise like the one over the street is going up sooner or later.

The squeaky noise might be because the pads are worn down. The pads have a noise maker flat springy piece of metal on them that will touch the rotor if worn to near end of life.
