AUTOMATIC Tranny service and Radiator flush
wanna get these done prior to when i go back up to USC. jiffy lube said around $60+ for the tranny service and i think $35+ for the radiator flush.
is this a reasonable price or is it easy and non PITA enough for me to do it?

Flushing the transmission means jacking up the drivers side, unscrewing a single bolt, waiting for it to drain, screwing the bolt back in and then refilling it with the same amount that came out. You might also want to recheck it after a little drive to be sure it's at the right level.
Radiator is the same deal, except you might want to run water through it to flush all the old fluid completely, so it could take a while, but is very easy to do.
The money saved on paying for labour can go towards premium fluids (ie. Amsoil and OEM rad fluid).
