About this site
TransmissionFluidChangeCost.com is a consumer guide to what a transmission fluid change costs: by service type (drain and fill, machine flush, flush with filter, CVT service), by shop, and by vehicle. It is published by Digital Signet Limited, a UK company that runs a portfolio of independent cost and comparison sites. Pages are written and maintained by Oliver Wakefield-Smith.
Not affiliated with any shop we name
We are not affiliated with, paid by or endorsed by Jiffy Lube, Valvoline Instant Oil Change, Midas, AAMCO, Firestone Complete Auto Care, Meineke, Pep Boys, Goodyear Auto Service, NTB, Grease Monkey, Walmart Auto Care Centers, or any vehicle maker or dealership. Their names appear because people search for their prices. There are no affiliate links or paid placements on the site today; if that ever changes, the link will be labelled and it will not change any figure.
What the site will and will not tell you
None of the national chains publishes a national price for transmission service, and prices vary by location and vehicle. Our shop and vehicle price ranges are therefore estimates built from third-party reported prices, not copies of a price list. Where a chain or a vehicle maker does publish something (what a service includes, how much fluid it replaces, which fluid a transmission takes, how much it holds) we quote it and link to that page. How each kind of figure is produced is set out on the methodology page.
The site is a starting point for a quote, not a substitute for one. Ask the shop for the fluid specification, whether the price is a drain and fill or a machine exchange, and whether a filter and pan gasket are included.
Corrections
If a figure on the site is wrong, or a shop has published a price we have missed, use the question form in the footer and tell us the page and the source. Each page shows the date it last changed.
