Totals use a standard workshop rate of NZ$120 or A$140 an hour and a 25% parts markup, plus GST. Your workshop's rate and parts prices will differ.

What affects the price

Drain and refill of 3-6 L of ATF (Penrite 4 L about NZ$85-104 retail), with a pan gasket and filter where fitted. Genuine fluid (Toyota WS, Honda DW-1) and a filter push it to the top.
