You may want to inquire if they will let you bring synthetic ATF for use instead of their dino ATF. They may or may not go for it. If so, you usually need 15 quarts. Mobile 1 synthetic ATF is about $6/qt. at Auto Zone, so bring your wallet.......

 

U need to be sure that when u flush the tranny they dont just drain out the fluid in the pan, and then replace that fluid.

Make sure that they take all the fluid out of the tranny, which I believe involves using a vacuum to suck out all the fluid, then replace it all

I did that to my automatic tranny, and it cost me $120.

 

just to respond to what adamlacey just said. Dude to drain the tranny pan and to suck it out from the dip stick is the same exact thing. When they suck it out they are removing it from the tranny pan and nothing else. either way this only removes somewhere around %50 of the fluid, so their is still half old fluid in there. So I would reccomend doing more than one drain and fill.

When I did the Valve body upgrade I was able to remove %90 of the old fluid. The remaining %10 is in the torque converter.
