How Much Does a Transmission Service Cost?
A transmission service protects an expensive part — what does it cost? A Cranbourne West specialist explains the factors.
What drives the cost
Transmission-service cost depends on the type (conventional auto, DSG/dual-clutch, or manual), fluid capacity and the correct fluid specification, plus whether a filter is replaced.
Using the wrong fluid can cause more harm than no change — we use the correct spec for your transmission.
What the job involves
We drain and refill with the correct-spec fluid (and replace the filter where applicable), check for leaks, and confirm shift quality.

Often every 60,000–100,000 km for autos; DSGs have their own schedule. See our auto-transmission guide.
Critically — the wrong fluid can cause damage. We use the correct spec.
Usually it just means no specified change — fresh fluid still extends transmission life.
