My 18 year old grandson asked for a quote on a simple transmission fluid change on a 2007 es350 Lexus. He was quoted 940 dollars. Ridiculous.
Based on his VIN # and recommendations by Toyota/Lexus, it takes a little over two hours to do a trans flush with trans filter replacement on this vehicle. There is a cheaper way to do it by draining some (not all) of the fluid and leaving the old filter in place. We explained to him that on a 13 year old vehicle, it may be best to do nothing if no symptoms were present. If he wanted to do it anyway or if he had symptoms, we recommended he do the full service. I'm sorry you weren't here to hear the conversation or ask questions.
