I'd like to see who comes closest here:

2000 Buick century @82,00 miles
Oil change
Tranny fluid change
Radiator flush & refill

J & B additives added to the oil the trans.

I'm guesing $215

I pick it up tommow at 4pm and my local shop and nomally
drill them about price but not this time. Was in a hurry !

Guesses?

Guess around $250.00 fr all...

Allthough the additives in the trans fluid were at min a waste and at max more harm than help. The only additive of use in a tranny is in a 03 and up and thats a friction modifier when useing lowgrade ATF.

and at 80k miles if you have never had the timing belt changed then your about 10k miles over due.

The price is right at 239.47 including tax!

Wow you were close Pickachu!
Price was 241.84!
He did through in a few little extra like air filter, cleaned rad overflow tube and something
about lube I can't read.. Oh and I guess it was a trans fluid flush not just a drain and fill.
That way the new pushes out ALL the old. even in the torque converter..

Never ever heard anything bad about JB metal conditioners. In engines anyway. Not sure about trannny though. Hmmm .

Timing Belt in a 3.1 v6? I really gotta doubt that.

Thanks all for your guesses.

Tranny stuff.. I go with da boss... after seeing the stuff I have at his previous job.. and talking to the guy who has had the Tranny shop here in town since 1972... I listen to them..

as for Timing belt.. those can be a bastard.. done a few.. and hated them.. pray for it to hold.. or start getting ready to replace it..

ohh and those flush's.. waste of money..

if your going to do it.. drop the pan.. replace filter.. check everything.. put the pan back. .and refill..

Doing that flush.. just push's crap into the filter.. shortening the life of the filter.

Wow $241... guess that's what you pay for not being able to do it yourself

Qui, Your method of chaning the tranny fluid will not flush out the at-least 1 quart of tranny fluid still left inside the torque convertor of an automatic transmissioned car.

I think Koo Koo's engine has a timing chain as opposed to a belt.
