[Shotimes] Re: Tranny flush

[Carl Prochilo]

Like I said, when it comes this stuff (ATX), I am a certified ignoramous. 
However, if they claim it's a flush and filter service, I would expect new
transmission fluid AND a new filter.  I will confirm with them.

I will also find out if they offer synthetic fluid over dyno and see what
that difference is.
