Re: Ok getting all of my fluids changed including the tranny.

Dropping the fluids and refilling is a cake walk. (Other than dropping the skid (4 bolts) to get at the front diff.)

IMHO I don't think they are giving you much of a break on the labor. Maybe if you added up the labor for each one done standalone they might be, but the vehicle is up on the lift once, they'll drop all 4 without lowering the lift each time. They can be real fast.

The ATF Type WS will cost you a little bit. Make sure your ticket says they used Type WS ATF in the auto trans. The rest, they'll probably use bulk dino for and it shouldn't be very expensive, but... whenever I'm at the dealer I always expect to be surprised; and not in a good way.
