Transmission Service Cost Calculator
Estimate the cost of a transmission service. A transmission service changes the fluid and filter to extend gearbox life. The vehicle type and whether you use genuine or aftermarket parts are the main cost drivers, along with the labour to access the part.
Your transmission service details
Your estimate sits within the typical range.
A transmission service (fluid and filter) on schedule extends gearbox life and is far cheaper than a rebuild. A full fluid exchange is more thorough than a drain-and-fill but costs a bit more.
💰 Ways to save
- Aftermarket parts are cheaper than genuine and fine for most jobs, ask your mechanic which matters here.
- Do related wear parts at the same time while the area is already apart, it saves a second labour charge.
- Get a couple of quotes, labour rates and parts mark-ups vary a lot between workshops.
