Price sounds about right. They've probably allowed 30-45 minutes labor plus
materials.

BUT... Is your Maintenance Minder showing sub-item 3? If not, and if you
don't spend a lot of time climbing hills or towing trailers, then fluid
replacement is OPTIONAL at this time. The dealer may be just trying to pad
their bottom line with your dollar bills.

You really really should read your Owner's Manual. It could save you a few
bucks.
