I am getting quotes from some local dealers in northern CA to change all the fluids in my truck. The quotes have been anywhere from $475 to $750. I was wondering how much your local dealers charge. (I guess I need to get off my rear and do it myself)

 

Well I was at a dealer today in Mid Missouri, Shop rates on the wall: Labor $77.00/hr, Flush & Fill 115.00, Transmission Flush & Fill 115.00, Tranfer Case 115.00, etc.... I think 115.00 is their favorite numbers!

 

Holy sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. For oil changes? Ill assume the trans takes the same $25 a quart lube x 4 qts, TC takes synthetic ATF at $8x4ish? a quart plus diffs, at 1 gal or so each if that, Thats around $200 for liquid gold oils, the rest is a piece o cake, just gotta get a little dirty sometimes. All the $$ you save can go to all the xtras your waiting approval for . Ya gotta use woman logic here. Ya go blow several hundred bucks then come home and tell the gal how much you just saved them. This would be cause you bought on sale, So although the bank account is now empty its OK, cause you saved hundreds buying at the right time on sale. That was always my X`es story.
