Job planner
Plan the job before you book.
Pick what you are doing. We will tell you the bay to book, how long to plan for, what it costs, and exactly what to bring.
There is an AutoZone nearby, and during business hours parts usually reach the shop in about 10 to 20 minutes. Forgot a filter or need a different size? Order it, keep working, and do not lose your slot.

Estimates for a first-timer, from our hourly rate and rounded up to the minimum booking. Book the long end. Extra time is cheaper than rushing.
Parts and fluids
- The exact transmission fluid your car requires
- Pan gasket and filter if you drop the pan
- New crush washers
Search links open the retailer with your car in the search. Use their vehicle picker to confirm fit, and compare the part number with your old part.
Look these up for your car first
- Fluid specification (not just 'ATF')
- Capacity, fill level and check temperature
- Whether the transmission has a dipstick or a fill plug
Bring these tools
- Drain pan
- Socket for the drain and fill plugs
- Fluid pump if the fill is on the side
- Torque wrench
- Gloves
