Transmission Service Cost
Hello all, my car is a 2018 with 93,000km, and I contacted the dealer about the upcoming "B9" service. I have gathered the maintenance interval for the trans is 6 years/60k miles, but I was shocked when they quoted me $1050 CAD plus taxes. Is this not a simple fluid and filter service? I know it's the dealership, but the price seems outrageous to me.
Does anyone have a copy of the maintenance schedule? I can't find a reliable source for one. They also quoted me $850 for the "B" service, with a separate $170 charge for brake fluid, and $60 for sunroof lubrication. I thought these tasks were typically included in the "B" service. I assume it included engine and cabin air filters, but it's still a steep price. I will probably do most of the work myself, but I decided to ask since they sent me a 20% off coupon. I guess they just jacked their prices to compensate.

Here is a kit of the parts the dealer will use. Figure they prob mark it up some as well. Then labor at $200/hr. $1k seems on par these days for that service, but if you have the time/skill and the pump refill kit then DIY is always an option.

would also need the fill tool to attach it.
would be interested to know if the dealer changes the TQ converter fluid as well. that adds time and some complexity to the process.
