    I want the service done by a shop but I wanted to get some figures on what some of you have paid for it to be done. Id like to knock it out in one shot.

    Is there a general price guide to go by?

    Somewhere near $100 for a Gen 2, parts and labor for the transaxle fluid change.

    My dealer charges $100 to do an ATF Drain/Refill in a Gen2. There is a bit more work to do it in a Gen1 (drop the pan and clean it, requires a new gasket) so maybe a bit higher price.

    Dealer just charged me $150 to do the inverter coolant drain/flush/fill. I did the transaxle fluid myself...really easy. Dealer did the engine also as a courtesy. 2 for the price of 1!!
    MAKE SURE TO USE TOYOTA FLUIDS!!! Coolant is di-electric.
