Cost of tranny service at the dealer
Local Audi dealer quotes $680 (parts & labor) to drain & replace tranny fluid in my '00 A8. Includes new filters, etc. Sound reasonable?<ul><li><a href="http://qu">http://qu</a</li></ul>

NO- it doesn't sound reasonable.......
8 liters of fluid = $120
Filter and gasket = $54
That leaves over $500 for labor- for a 2 hour (maximum) job. $250 an hour is a little steep in my book........
Find someone else to do the job (right). Dealers screw these fluid changes up all the time. Take the procedure from Audipages to a good independant and get an estimate.

my dealer had a list price of ~279...
which is $100 more than a410225 (in the note in this thread) who is probably 5 miles away from me. But get a load of this. They changed my tansmission fluid first and then went on to replace the transmission in the same service call and then charged for both (didn't end up paying for the change, though). If you have a good non-dealer option, I'd head there in a second.
