According to the service manual "The ATF temperature must be between 42 and 47°C (108 and 117°F) to accurately check the fluid level.". I personally think that as long as the mechanic does a proper following of the service manual and does a good test drive and checks the fluid level again you should be fine.

Thanks for the reply! I agree with you - I still have not reached 40K key, but im close. I went ahead and ordered Motul Gear 300 fluid for the diff fluid swap. I will be doing the fluid change and bilstein b14 coil install next monday - I think I heard somewhere Scion would want $250 for the trans fluid service - I will call Scion next Monday as well, unless somebody has info
And last thing, I am Phil LOL I made your key!
