I think you won't save much as mechanics charge way more than $10 these jobs. For real savings learn to do it yourself.

Most independent repair shops prefer to provide the parts for the work they do. Since they also make a profit on the parts (or fluid in these cases), my guess is that they'll charge you more in labor costs to make up the difference if you provided the fluids (I would)(charge more). And.... labor rates vary so much by region, I think you'd be better off to call around and get some prices for the specific job (change the brake fluid, change ATF, etc). I think any name brand DOT 3 brake fluid would suffice for a refresh, though I would strongly recommend using the latest Honda ATF when you change the AT fluid (I'd use Honda brake fluid too, but that's your call). I don't really agree with advice offered elsewhere here (in regards to learning to do it yourself)(for these two jobs anyway). The AT fluid change is due every 60K miles or so, the brake fluid change every 3 years (regardless of mileage). These are long intervals and not worth attempting to learn and perform yourself (in my opinion).

If you do buy the necessary parts (fluid, etc.) for the two jobs you've listed, I believe all you need for the brake fluid change is brake fluid (no idea how much), but there are a few special tools you'd need. You'll need 9 quarts of ATF and a drain plug washer if the ATF change is done properly (drain and refill 3 times with a short drive in between, and the new drain plug washer installed after the last drain).
