[North DFW] Where to go for wheel alignment and trans flush
Can you recommend a decent shop in Plano/Richardson/Murphy area to get wheel alignment and transmission flush done on my 2006 AT coupe? I'm thinking to go to Christian Brother Automotive. They opened a new location just one block away from my place. hey quoted me $60 for the alignment and $130 for the transmission flush.
I think it is rather inexpensive for the alignment but I'm concerned about the comment that they made about the transmission fluid. They are going to put some generic synthetic fluid, not the Nissan stuff. Should I be concerned about it or should I jump on it?
Maybe you guys have recommendations for other decent shops in the area?
Thank you!

I MIGHTTT be wrong, but I don't think it's necessary to do a FLUSH. Just do the drain fill drive fill method. I'm sure someone can chime in about the specific step but I had my transmission fluid drained n filled not too long ago. 10 bux from my mechanic lol. I supplied oil of course. which was $4.75/qt MATIC S from Nissan. When we drained, it took just about 4qts to fill up.

Brakes plus does alignment for $45 and they were able to accommodate my lowered car. Also, check your owners manual regarding the fluid. For my G37, it requires that you use the Nissan fluid or it will void warranty. Obviously you are already out but they prob have a good reason for mandating it. I wont go to CB since I was quoted an hour labor to resurface 2 rotors unmounted at $90/hr. Thats insane!

Stick to the Nissan auto fluid for the tranny....from what I understand the auto is a bit more sensitive in regards to fluids...there's plenty of threads in regards to this...I wouldnt risk it.
I 2nd Firestone...it's like 120-130 for lifetime alignment...u can't beat it. There's a firestone on park I think....east of tollway.....they actually found my bushings where shot where as a brand new one up close to Wylie missed it...
