What can I expect to pay for a transmission flush?

Question

on a 2001 mazda protege? I just don't want to get ripped off.

Answer 1

I charge $79.95 for that car. Some Ford and Chrysler cars and trucks are a little more because of the type of fluid those are $99.95.

Answer 2

The best answer for this is the same as all other "how much should this cost" questions.

Call around to local shops and ask. This is a routine service that everyone and their cousin offers so it is a very competitive market. Don't expect a huge variation in price from one shop to another.

Prices vary from region to region, city to city. And nobody on the internet is in any danger of actually selling you such a service so any figure they give is essentially meaningless.

Answer 3

Why does such a new car need a transmission flush?
My old Ford 1988 has never had one and drives/shifts like a dream. Unless you're really having shifting problems, I'd leave it alone; then if I was having problems, I'd check with the Dealer and see if they have a recall out for transmission problems on that model. Might get it fixed for free.

Answer 4

Take it to a garage and if the milage is about 100 000km (60 000mi) have the filter changed as well. I work in a garage and it cost for the flush about $120 + Taxes, if they want to charge more for additives, it is important that you do use them. The filter depends on the car for labour cost and parts costs. And for thoes of you who don't know, it is VERY important to keep your vehicle maintained, or else you wear out interior componants.

Answer 5

Go to the dealer. Jiffy lube places destroyed my transmission.

Answer 6

In NJ AAMCO advertises this for $99. Just be sure to say no to "additional services" if you don't believe you need them.

Answer 7

not more than 50.00 for flush and fill// take it to ase certified shop otherwise you may get ripped of anyway good luck
