Anyone knows where to get service for a tranny ATF flush besides the dealers?

As the fluid goes by the cooling hose, both ends are attached to the machine, so all the old fluid that passes by the machine stays there and lets new fluid go in, pretty simple and very effective way, they charged me $39, because I brought my own fluid, Redline ATF high temp.
Smoth as silk.

I rather do the $39 flush than doing the it by myself. The hassle of screwing n unscrewing the plugs..especially the top ATF plug 
. I don't mind the driving..cuz i love driving my car. I wish i knew a place in San Jose that does that.

I called John at Exact Motorsport and he's charging $68 for the flush. It wasn't the price i was expecting compared to the $39 that Bitium got.

I take my TL to Los Gatos Acura. They used to have a machine that sucks out all the fluid in the tranny, but last time I was there, they were advised by Acura not to do that anymore because it might be one of the reason why the trannys are dying. The machine would suck the tranny and torque converter almost dry so when you start up and start driving it, it would wear out the tranny/torque converter real quick. This is what the Los Gatos Acura servcie dept. told me.
