My lucky day at the stealership

So a while back when I had run over a tire and it ruined the transmission (auto) pan, I ended up having to replace it since it was crushed in. I ended up having to drain the fluid of what I could, put a new pan on and refill it. I ended up having to refill maybe 4 qts overall. Considering that the car now has a bit over 100k on it and is driven quite alot, along with the fact that there's alot more than just 4 qts of fluid in the tranny, I decided to get a trans flush today.

So I call the stealer where I ended up buying my car from and they quoted me that it would be about $240 for the work. I've always had luck at this other dealer (I call them a dealer because these guys do some honest work and the best deals I've ever seen), they tell me it'll be $169. So of course I go to that dealership. Was only supposed to be about an hour or so but ended up taking closer to two hours. No big deal as long as the car is done right, I think they were just checking out the suspension mods honestly lol. Don't get too many modded Yariis in Detroit.

My sales guy comes up to me and hands me the keys and tell me everything checked out good in regards to the tranny flush and a inspection. He then tells me that the price should have been $240, not $169. But he said they will honor their word and charge me the $169 as they told me beforehand. I didn't have to haggle, I didn't have to talk them into it. Nothing. I thought that was very honorable and class act on their part.

If anyone needs work or maintenance done in the Detroit area (Dearborn Heights specifically), I highly suggest La Fontaine Toyota.
