I was hoping to stay away for dealers, have not had the best of luck in the past and they tend to be very $$$...oh well?

I'll give them a call, can't hurt.

unlesss you feel like taking a rid eto hanover IRA' s the only other one that i can safely say its ok. MCgee toyota has the most master techs in the state so technically if you are really worried about dealers I would say use them and you will not be disappointed but its a hike depending on where you are.

mcgee on the lynnway in lynn?

*********************************

Ira wants $149, does not include filter kit, he wasn't sure the cost of that somewhere between $35-$50 more.

geez, these prices seems high to me!

I had the BG tranny flsuh done just about 3K ago and it did make a difference. Ask the shop if they have the cleaner that they should install first before they start the flush. Also BG recommends that you put in an additive after teh flush. BG stuff is only sold to shops you can not buy it at a chain store, that is just the way they work.

I would do the BG flush..........
