996 2003 automatic - transmission oil change costs 1000 usd @deslership!

Hello everyone,

this doesn't seem right. I just called prestige imports, my dealership, and they told me it would cost about $1000 to change the transmission oil on my 2003 911 tiptronic.

Is that price normal? please advise?

Actually it sounds about right for a dealership.  This is not a simple job of pulling the drain plug and then refilling.  It is a rather complicated process with specific parameters that need to be met during the refilling.  And it involves an experienced knowledgeable mechanic to do it right, so you are paying for that as well.  I've heard of people having significant problems with tiptronics after someone didn't do the job right.  So what is your reason for changing the transmission fluid?  Age/mileage? Hard shifting?
