After he told me the reason for the increased price was because they had to do it at two different temperatures and also realizing he probably wasn't in charge of prices, I told him to go ahead and do it. I'll discuss the price when I pick the car up.



You'll discuss the price when you pick it up? Really?

It usually doesn't work that way. Usually you agree on a price before the work is performed.

So what exactly does this have to do with "transmissions" or doing a "transmission fluid change/flush"?

It has to do with the fact that a dealership will tell you what they want, not what is actually going on. You didn't call out the other guy for saying he was told he couldn't get onto an alignment rack for being lowered.
