Hey guys, mulling over the options to have a transmission fluid & filter drop done on the Canyon. Not a flush....just a drain & fill, with filter. Events over the last months have shaken my faith in pretty much anything being done right anymore, so I'm trying to choose carefully. The truck's out of warranty, so I would like to avoid the dealership if possible, mainly due to their general attitude toward this job when I called them at 30,000 miles. All they offered to do was suck out the fluid & replace it. He didn't even want to talk about the filter.
I want all Delco parts & fluids used, which will probably mean that I will need to supply it, as I suspect most places will be using bulk fluids & aftermarket filters. Maybe its irrational, but I'm not keen on using "multi-vehicle" transmission fluid. Note that the exhaust has to be unbolted at the cats in order to drop the pan.
I'm considering giving Eagle Transmission, or Aamco a shot, since they're supposed to know what they're doing. My biggest concern is that whoever I choose is familiar with the fluid level check procedure on this transmission.
I let Kwik Kar do this on my Sport Trac, but it had a dipstick, they gave me the old filter, and they told me exactly what fluid they were using, so I know everything was done correctly. They got the level spot-on, by the way. I just don't have confidence that they'll take the time to check the fluid level on this transmission.
Any suggestions before I start calling around? I may be overthinking it, but at the moment, I'm gun shy about having another job messed up.
