Well most do charge around $80, but the $120 was for the tranny fluid flush,
along with having them do the $40 'drop the pan service'(new filter, clean
the pan, and new pan gasket). I should have mentioned that in my first post.
I do have a $15 off coupon, so it wold be right around $100 for
everything......still unsure if it would help my truck out though. Thanks
for the info.
