About two months ago I got the transmission fluid changed at the oil change I go to. Lately I had noticed that my car didn't seem to changing up to the higher gears. The axle was also clicking, so I was hoping like hell it was that and NOT the transmission going out again. Well, it wasn't. But it was close. You see, the oil change place only charged me $89.00 for the service, because that's what he quoted me. As I left he explain that's what he was charging me, even although the transmission fluid needed an additive. Yes, that is what he said.
I took it to the mechanic yesterday. He checked it and it turned out that the transmission fluid was very low. It' not leaking. The oil change place didn't even put enough fluid in it, let alone the right stuff! The car shop replaced the low stuff with Hyundai fluid. That costs $180.00, but the car is running correctly now.
I'm very angry at the oil change place. If they had done the job right I could buy new tires which I really need. Now I just get to worry about the wear on the transmission from this.
