okay you car guys

[Morris]

okay, i'll look at the BF and let them do the transmission.

they can forgot even bothering looking at the battery. those things don't go bad under the back seat, do they?

battery life is about 5 years. Some go in 2 some last 10. You're not having a problem so why do they want to test it?

Dice has a good point. You're paying a premium at the dealer. Ask around and find someone else. After all it doesn't have to be done right away because you're not having problems.

i never heard of a battery being under the back seat..what kind of car do you have ?

I have a car with a battery behind the back seat . Has it's own compartment. Pain in the ass to change.

Always do a transmission flush on my truck every 40-50K miles. Its worth it Jack. I want to say its about $100-$125 down my way.



The battery check is a rip.

wait, on second thought that might be YYZ

 

[MadJack]

No, batteries have been proven to last forever if they're located under the back seat. The location is key.

scott, this is preventive maintenance.

nothing is wrong with the car but i get the oil changes every 3000 miles.

Manufacturers recommend a ATF flush every 100K miles because their maintenance schedule is calibrated for a 100K lifetime for the car.

To get your car to last 200K or more, you need to do the routine fluid changes far more often than the dealer recommends. The standard for a tranny flush is 2yrs / 30K miles.
However, before you do it - pull your tranny dipstick and inhale deeply. If it smells burnt you are probably already screwed, and a tranny flush could finish off your transmission by loosing up the sludge that is holding it all together. If that is the case, you might just want to drive it until it dies, and deal with the $2000 rebuild then. If the fluid smells ok - and still shows sign of its original pink color, then a flush is in order ASAP.

I like the part about the tranny fluid being pink.

not sure why

Jack -- I have heard that you should not do a transmission flush but just have it emptied and topped off. Different than flushing it completely. I heard the viscosity change can be damaging.

Don't know if this helps, hurts, or if you already had it done! :00hour I just read the first two posts.

a tad pricey on the tranny flush (I do my own but around here I can get it done for about $100-$115), did you check other places? good price for brake flush.
