Sounds like they’re trying to take you for a ride brother. My dealership told me the filter didn’t need to be changed until the 2nd transmission service at around 90K.
Well had my transmission fluid changed today and also an engine oil change. The service advisor said the old fluid they took out was fine. Apparently they put it on a test strip to check it for wear and what not. So with my Ally maintenance plan I ended up paying just a tad less than $300.
I took my wife’s Explorer to our Ford dealership to get an oil change last Saturday. I was walking around the lot and saw a new Bronco that had a 5K mark up. I just don’t see how they get away with it.
Called my Stealership and they said the tranny service would be about $295. I’ve got an oil change coming up in about 2K so I’ll just get it all done at the same time.
