I paid $220 after a 15% off coupon. So your price is not bad at all.

You should ask when you ask about the cost. There is no set rule of what they will/will not do. you should also ask if they follow the normal or severe schedule (most places use severe).

CLS-D: I think its a tranny flush and refill.

Yeah, there is no set rule of what they will and will not do. He went through the list, and there was some shit I told him to take off. Like AC filters.. they wanted $120 bucks for that, I already had my own oil, oil & fuel additives, 50 bucks, and other misc stuff that was not needed.

He just called, and I'm down to $279.

They might as well make it part of the service to CHANGE the TRANNY, not just the fluid!
