Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jul 22, 2011, 2:52 PM Post #2 of 5 (1512 views) Re: auto transmission flush Sign In It depends what their labor rate is and what kind of fluid they are using. There are so many vehicles now that you cannot use regular Dexron in and they all have different requirements, many shops use a universal synthetic which is acceptable for all the special needs and an upgrade for cars that use regular Dexron. Some have dofferent opinions on what the labor time should be also. Forget the $40 idiot. That won't even cover the fluid so you can bet he isn't changing it all. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Still seems to cheap I wouldn't do it. Well worth the $200 if you only do it every 30k, right??
