Auto trans service
Today I was at the dealer for my 27,000 mile oil change.They are recommending a auto trans flush and fuel injection service at my next oil change at a price of $210.00 for both.Does that seem reasonable?Or is it an unnecessary service?

Ask them if, since it is so far ahead of the published maintenance schedule, the service is FREE.
Seriously, though, it's not a bad idea. I just wouldn't trust them to do it on my vehicle.

They are crazy as hell. The auto trans doesn't need servicing until the 60K service. DON'T have it flushed. This is a gimmick to take your money. Just have the fluid drained and replaced and the filter replaced when its time.

So its a good idea to change to the fluid at 30K, just not a complete flush?

What does fuel injection service mean?Are the injectors removed and cleaned or are they replaced?I go through 2 tanks of gas a week so there should not be a lot of sediment in the tank.

I stated that the dealer recommended a trans flush and injector service at my next oil change.I was getting serviced today at 27,000 miles.
