    Is €195 a fair price to change the ATF fluid in a 2013 Santa Fe from an indpendant?

    It's on the high side, you should do it yourself and save money

    I'd do an oil change myself alright but never done ATF. I don't have ramps so would be doing this on the drive too. €150 be closer to the mark than?

    They take almost 8 litres of fluid so the price is reflecting that

    Not much of a saving then when you add in the oil and time.

    Big big savings actually,you'll be servicing twice a year for as long as you drive a car, irrespective of diesel, hybrid,manual,auto,,I've saved e500 plus over the years with my sealey vac pump,and ramps,,,but maybe you like to throw money away?

    Problem is I trust these guys and have used them a good few times over the years and found them very reasonable so I'm reluctant to change. The ATF change sounded a bit steep which is why I questioned it, I'll ring around on Monday and get a couple of prices and see will they better theirs thanks for input/replies too.

    I work on my own vehicles the OP doesn't, so if they buy equipment it'll be waste of their time and money.
