Hey everyone,
Just got a service quote for my 2021 Audi Q7 55 TFSI with around 63,700 miles on it. The shop is quoting me:
Transmission Pan / Filter & Fluid Replacement: $1,576.21 total ($820 labor, ~$640 for the fluid service kit, plus gear oil and tax)
Transfer Case Fluid Service: $281.48 total ($205 labor, ~72 for fluid, plus tax)
Total comes out to nearly $1,900 for both services.
For those of you who have had this done or take your Q7 to an independent specialist vs. a dealer, does this look reasonable or are they gouging me on the fluid kit and labor hours? Appreciate any feedback!

I rented a car on Turo to make the trip down from Massachusetts to New Jersey for a wedding today. When I arrived at the pickup location, the vehicle was a no-show because the previous guest had never returned it. On top of that, the host tried to force me into a lower-tier car even though I had already paid for a higher-tier car at the same price.

I managed to get a refund processed through Turo so I could quickly rent an alternative car, but the moment I tried to re-book, Turo’s automated risk system flagged my account and slapped me with a strict, 2-year account restriction. They said the escalated my case but it shouldn’t have even got to this point…
