Default Please Educate Me - ABS Warning lights after passing through muddy waters

I own a 2008 Mitsubishi Outlander and recently drove it through muddy waters after heavy rains. I filled-up the tank and when i turned on the ignition, the dashboard lit up with ABS blinking in yellow - it has been this way for 2 days now.
1: Do I change the brakes
2: What do i tell the mechanic so i don't get cheated.

Mitsubishi workshops here costs too much for repairs and maintenance
and do a poor job at that.

Please advise

The wheel speed sensors are probably damaged/clogged and need to be cleaned or replaced. Take the wheels off and see what condition they are in, you can find the service manual for the car on this forum.
