    looking for a decent shop near marion

    I would like to get a complete transmission fluid flush on my regal and avalanche. I know it is not a hard job but I would like to take it to a shop that I can trust and has the proper equipment. So where do you guys go for this.

    I can do fluid and filter but I have no idea if the previous owner ever changed the fluid. I would like nearly all the old fluid out I have heard that a flush change nearly all the fluid where as only half the fluid is in the pan.

    Thanks I will keep you in mind tho

    I know we did flushes at blains farm and fleet in CF, but not sure if we have one of those around here.

    Fountain Transmission in Iowa City. Flushes the trans. and drops the pan/replaces filter. Most other places either flush or pan/filter.

    you could change the oil without a flush and than change it again a year later and that would probably leave you with pretty clean oil.
