How much are we paying for transmission fluid drain and fill at the dealership/Quick Lane?

[davidg4781]

How much are y'all paying for your transmission fluid changes at Quick Lane? We have a new Quick Lane with a couple of new workers. They seem friendly and mean well but when I first asked, they wanted to give me a drain and fill that was going to be near $500. The other worker said no, he's just wanting drain and fill, look it up this way, blah blah, and I got quoted about $260. I thought that was a bit high but whatever, I didn't have the time that day.

Going back later, the one that helped wasn't around (I believe she's the manager) and we're back again to $350 for parts before labor for a flush, and they only do flushes. I called a couple of other dealers in the area and I'm getting $350+ again for flushes when all I want is a drain and fill.

Any suggestions? Does Ford not do drain and fills?

And yes, I know I can do it myself because you can't trust the stealership... I'm not interested in that.

My local dealer (Sanderson in Glendale) has had a quick lane seemingly forever. Don’t know what a drain & fill would run, or if they would insist on a full flush, but I could check into it. I’m still about 25k from even considering it for myself.

I’ve seen a lot of people saying to get it done at 30k miles. I’m about 48k. Ford recommends to have it done at 150k.

Usually I follow the manufacturer’s recommendations but I figured I’d get this done a bit early for peace of mind.

The manual actually specifies to do it much more frequently if you meet certain use cases. One of which being.... Traffic. The 100-150k recommendation, in my opinion, is a complete joke and is only meant to meet environmental regulations.

We asked at our local dealership (Nelson Ford in Martinsville, Va) that last time the BS/BB was in for service & we were quoted $385.00 for a drain & refill. I think that is crazy expensive.

I use a local shop for maintenance on our three vehicles. A simple transmission drain and fill like I do with the Jeep Cherokee is $230. It has no replaceable filter in the ZF transmission. Does the Bronco sport have a replaceable filter? I’m going to have the Bronco’s transmission fluid changed at 30K out of an abundance of caution. I just had the oil changed at 9 months and 5000 miles because I’m a little concerned about the durability of these Ecoboost engines.

That’s a good point to change it at a local shop. I guess I’ll call around.

I like The Works that Ford offers. ~$70 to change the oil and rotate tires.

Honestly, I like the BS and the community but a part of me does miss Honda quality and attention to details. I also have considered swapping out for a BL but I know financially that's not a good decision.

At 18K I had all fluids changed and 4 new tires. $1000. A garage owned by ex Ford mechanics.

That's a good deal! What kind of tires? I'm budgeting about $800 for tires, with tax and all that.

No, it does not. The transmission must be disassembled to access the filter. Cheers!
