[QUOTE="Robert Caffyn, post: 985897, member: 66648"] Hi Len, Bob here. I had a trans flush done on my '08 at 33,000 miles at my local mechanic. Cost was about $425 American. Now at 75,000, am planning to do it again. I think the owners manual says it needs to be done every 100,000 (too long for me) It was amazing the difference in the operation of the trans afterward. Much, much better. So I'm thinking that $700 is a bit higher price for all that is being done. I mean, an oil change(Mobil1 and filter) is about $90 here. Tyre rotation I get for free at my tyre store every 5K miles. I change the plugs every 50K miles (8 Motorcraft plugs are over $100 plus install is about $165). Lube the chassis is included with the oil change. All of this is why I chose a local certified mechanic. I leave the warranty stuff/ big things up to the dealer. Dealerships are always gonna be higher in cost, its where they make their real money. They don't make much on selling a car. Please note, aside from the Mobil1 oil and filter, I use all Motorcraft parts and fluids, just to be safe. Good luck, but would think about a local mechanic. As long as you follow the recommended service intervals and keep all records, you'll be OK. Bob [/QUOTE]
