I just got an email coupon from my dealership for $99 + 10% fluid disposal fee - change, flush, adjust, road test.

 

I paid $130.00 a couple of months ago. When I'm out of warranty I'll do it myself, but it was nice not getting an ATF bath. No flush, just drop pan and change filter.

 

I just had mine done on Mon. You have to specify that you want a complete flush with a pump. It pumps all of the ATF out, they run their flush fluid through and then replace the ATF. I provided them with my ATF (Amsoil) and my filter. Make sure to tell them to adjust the bands, It cost me $201.00. $170.00 for the flush and adjustment and 31.00 for the ATF they ran through to flush the flush fluid plus my ATF and filter. $119.00 for 15 qts of ATF Universal and filter from Amsoil. So, $320.00 in all. Good luck !

That ROCKS!!!

 

WOW, I was quoted 170 for the flush......Your dealership stuck it too you. Especially if you provided your own fluid.

 

.....they dropped the pan, changed the filter, most likely checked the l/r band and kickdown, buttoned it up and then flushed it. Basically two services in one hit.

 

Actually Chip got a decent deal with all he had done. Most of the time when dealers give a $99 flush they don't even remove the pan (therefore not changing the filter-like taking a bath in muddy water). Besides the Amsoil ATF is the best investment you can make in your automatic - my own experience has shown- ie. considerably lower operating temps under load and longer life.

Can you imagine what kind of lame story they made up after that screw up? It's incredible how stupid some of these people are.
