Is trans drain and fill safe

2018 Lincoln mkz hybrid 290k miles
Trans fluid has never been changed

Called around and some said to never touch it

Others say trans drain and fill is safe

Mechanic checked it and said it’s not burnt just dirty

I’m wondering if I should mess with it at all and is drain and fill safe or still risky or just do nothing

Do want to last the car as long as possible

Were these prices fair

2018 Lincoln mkz hybrid 290k miles

Front breaks and rotors -$500 total. Parts if I purchased - $180 but mechanic gets it cheaper. I feel like it was expensive because I called around after and had someone doing it for $300 total so feel like I paid $200 extra and this was a at home mechanic someone who
Works from his house

Transmission mount - $200 total part was $54 but mechanic may get it cheaper

Oil change with threads repaired and new drain plug- $200
Provided my own filter. before there was jb weld stuck in my oil pan which had to be removed and fixed

I felt like the break job was expensive and I could have saved $200 if I did it elsewhere but he did say he saved me many hundreds of dollars by fixing the oil threads. The oil drain plug threads in my oil pan were damaged (stripped). Instead of replacing the entire oil pan, the mechanic repaired the drain hole threads and installed a new drain plug. Next oil change we will install a valve so oil changes are easy like using a sink faucet. The oil pan job was gonna cost $500+ maybe more since it’s a lot of labor.

Just wondering if these are good prices I think everything was fine except breaks were expensive for at home mechanic and I’m thinking that I just spent an extra $200 to fix the drain plug area to feel a bit better since that might have been really expensive and maybe no one would have done what he did

He did work for 3-4 hours

Just feel like I paid $200 extra for breaks

Parts total if I would have purchased them- $350 but he said he gets them cheaper but didn’t tell me the prices

So looking at $550 for his labor seems high for at home mechanic just the breaks part

Wondering if this area is safe

Near south loop where the apartments called prairie shores, lake meadows, and Eden commons is near IIT.

Am also wondering if these buildings are good like no cockroaches bugs etc

I am not sure if this is considered the south side where people say it’s not safe. Also, a large community of Indians live here so am just wondering how safe the area is compared to closer to Uic.

I do drive uber part time here and there so wondering if pick ups around the area are safe or certain times should be avoided.

Anyone looking for a gym buddy

Anyone looking for a gym buddy in Chicago

In the middle of moving and don’t want to sign up for one yet till I finalize my move to make sure the gym is actually close to where I live around Chicago downtown or nearby areas

If your membership has a guest pass and you can bring a guest and you don’t bring one I’d like to tag along for just about a week maybe till my moving is finalized, I can even pay a little if needed so you have nothing to lose.

Also could be lifting buds if u need a gym bud or spotter, am also looking to make new friends but if u want to do ur own thing as well im totally cool with that after I am in.
