Default Trans fuild change

Just got my car after trans fluid change. Overall filling: on auto - like new car. Will perform full test tomorrow and will keep you posted.
Question :
Did anybody have an issue when the dealer changed the price after car been dropped for service?

Default 1-2 hours labor...

You should be able to see in report.
I've charged for 2 hours. But I have to push them to follow our agreement - I paid $300 and it wasn't fun. LOL. But total implementation - 2 days (they should ask you to have your car overnight).
About fluid - flush will be around 9q, but it's very risky. Regular fluid change (not flush) should be around 6q.

Default I checked automatic (D) only

and it's like new - very smooth for all shifting (up/down) and it's very difficult to fill shifting.
I will check my car tomorrow (like a full check)

Default I'm having difficulty following this thread...

1. Was the total chg &lt; $300, and how much were you quoted?
2. Sounds like a bargain based on what I've read on AW?

Default Over the phone I got 300, after 4 hours - got 350. LOL

The funny thing was - I got 300 as a top both times when I called (once to get all parts and the second - to schedule). I never got the actual price - both times between 250-300...
I was telling them - it is not matter of $50, but I don't like when the price has been raised after it has been quoted.

Default

Is that the entire cost, the sum of the right column? Where's labor?
