Another Post on the Shudder
All,
Thanks for all the information on the shudder. I love this site.
I had the triple flush done and it did work.
For those interested in costs: I got two quotes from two different Chevrolet dealers. One was $424, one was $950 for the same triple flush.
The $424 even gave me a Veteran's discount, we paid $383.42. If anyone is interested, this was at Cheap Chevrolet in Flemingsburg, KY.
Also, I had to wait for 1.5 weeks for them to get me in. I used the manual mode during this time and still averaged between 28 and 29 mpg.
ps ... get through the 5th gear as quickly as possible.
Anyway, thanks again. I hope this information helps someone.

I call BS. How did you determine it was the SAME triple flush? Call the parts department and ask how much a quart of fluid is going to cost you. Multiply that by 24. Quick glance says $50 for a 6 pack so $200. If that is correct, and I don't think they gave you the same price as Amazon, multiply their labor rate by 2.8. So far, labor is about $200 an hour. So how did they do that? People often look at the low dollar figure and don't ask the details. The devil IS in the details. Go find out the numbers and my money is you got took.

Sounds like he got took. 1/3 of the job at half the price and they get advertising to boot. They made out, I guess. People should demand an itemized quote, read and compare it to other itemized quotes and not stupidly read the number on the bottom right corner and use it for anything. Last time I asked for an itemized quote and the appointment clerk gave me some gibberish on a sheet of paper, I crushed it in front him and tossed it in his trash can and walked out.
