Default How much for a AutoTrans Fluid flush?

Dealership quoted me a price of $239.00, should I go elsewhere like a Goodyear or Midas shop?

if that includes the new filter and fluid fill, go for it. what are the chances of a midas or goodyear shop carrying the correct nissan matic J ATF anyways. most dealerships spend the money for equipment maintanance and upkeep too, they will do it right without killing your sensitive Z trans.

Its not a scam, pan drop and refill only gets about half the fluid, the flush machines get the converter as well, and there is no filter, only a screen.
Be careful of misinformed people who like to save a buck and believe or dont know how to do maintenence properly!

If it's a true flush, not bad. Fluid should be around $10/quart..14quart tranny.
