Just got back from dropping my truck off to the local maint guy who I have gone to since day one for the truck. I went in for an oil change and also just hit 60k and was thinking about doing an auto transmission flush/refil as it seems to be shifting a lil clunky lately...
However my guy didnt work on my truck this time... and a new mechanic came out..
I was told by the mechanic that the transmission is sealed and unable to be flushed or serviced..
This seems a bit ridiculous since ive seen 2005+ fluid flush/refils posted in this forum...
TAKE YOUR TRUCK AND DRIVE AWAY ASAP!!!!! this so called "tech" do not know jack *flip* if he says that our auto trans is sealed. that is complete BS!!!!!:frown:
I'd agree except he's been going to this shop for six years, if they hired a bad mechanic, someone needs to say something.
He's been happy and he needs to let the shop know. You shouldn't let one Douchebag mechanic ruin an otherwise good shop.
Should not take long for them to realize they hired a bad mechanic.
Back when I first started in my trade, I seen machinist push their tool boxes in the morning and pushing them out by lunch.
Think I am just gunna do it myself, Time for the diffs and transfer case anyways. I see lots of good reviews for the amsoil syn auto trans fluid. Buy a couple quarts n follow the guide above.
I normally do most of the work on my truck, but I leave the fluid stuff to dealers/mechs so I dont have to bother with the dumping of the fluids (legally and some shops charge to dump) and only saving like 20 bucks per oil change. I would have been spending an extra 40 to have them do the auto trans, but oh well... live n learn.
This is the second time I have had an issue with the shop and when I went there it looked like it was new management. Might be time to find a new local shop. Any recommends out there for anyone in las vegas?
sounds like a smart choice. As for ATF, I have done 2 pan drains (20k for a pan change and 30 for S&G) and each time I bought from dealer. Spend a few minutes talking to the parts desk guy and see if he'll give you a deal. I just asked what kind of deal he could give me for a case... $less than $10/bottle for Matic S ($100 for case) I HAVE had a few times that I got a manager and they wouldn't even meet their online sales price. Each time I talk to that dealer I drop a complaint to the dealer owner and let them know they lost another sale... 3rd time I was offered a $20 store credit at the dealer for parts or $50 off service over $100. They DO care about earning business.
