Looking to get the transmission and coolant flushed/changed as my ride has just gone past 90K. How much would be a reasonable amount for this service parts plus labor? The dealer is crazy expensive so I will be calling around some local independent shops.

.8 to 1.2 hours to do both fluid and filter per Alldata.

i think 1 hour to let the tranny fluid drain is not enough, i would let it drain at least 2-3 hours, maybe even overnight if it looks really dirty. work involved is actually minutes for a mechanic with a lift, time to let it drain is long and fluid is expensive.
