Hard to get J30 people to pay [understand need] for a BG machine flush/ATF exchange compared to Q45 owners.
We try to avoid total ATF exchanges [BG Machine] since we charge $3,000+ for a Nissan remanned swap.
You cannot do too much preventative mainteance or your Gross will suffer and you will be out of business if too many people do too much.
This is a Repair Business not a mainteance business.
Impossible to make much profit on $129 because it takes 50 minutes [to connect and row the gears correctly] and uses $43 worth of ATF and chemicals.
Yesterday an out of state Q customer came in for his 6 year annual pan drop, new filter, BG Flush and refill with $86 worth of Mobil syn ATF.There was microscopic metal on magnet and inside cut open filter after < 18k in 12 months.
He understands replacing a $3,000 AT can be deferred by spending $200 per year IF you start when the unit is brand new!!!!!
I would waste my time with a manual fuild exchange, other than a pan drain and 3 quart refill when BG AT Machines are so available.
