These are the 4 things that need to be done: Transmission flush, spark plugs, pcv valve, and transfer case.
For this work I was 1st quoted that it'll cost about $600 (on the phone she did say something about the transfer case and something about if the pcv valve needs replacing it'll be more) then when I dropped it off for the work to be done they told me that to get those 4 things done it will be more like $800. Then they called me around 1pm and told me that yes the pcv valve needs replacing and so does the transfer case and since it's a 4x4 and because I use synthetic oil etc. it will cost $1200, and was it ok for them to go ahead and finish the work. All I know is that I needed to get those 4 things done and that those four things cost me a lot more then what I was expecting them too. I told them to go ahead because the work has to be done. Hopefully that quote was with taxes and that's the difference between the $800 to the $1200 but I don't know. Heck I don't even know what a pcv valve or a transfer case is! All I know is that they are being replaced.
I don't mind paying to get the work I need done, I just wish I knew if that is a fair price for that work or not. Any mechanic's out there that know?
BTW I'll let everyone know what the grand total is today after I pay for the work and pick my jeep up.

No, no call. They did a service, thinking it was in for a service allong with the leaky radiator fitting. I do all my own services. They didnt like that LOL. Just means they dont get to charge me. I Keep all my reciepts for the fluids I purchase. And ALL my fluieds greatly exceed Dodge's reccomendations, so they cant say I use inferior products.
