Whats the average cost of the 160,000KM service cause my car is approaching that amount (100ks off). How long can i leave it before it is necessary to do?

My mechanic charged me $150 for an engine service and tune... but I lashed out and spent $70 on a transmission service aswell!

Magna/Verada really shouldn't cost too much to service at any time!

I can't be bothered making a new thread so speaking of servicing can someone tell me how much it would cost to get a Auto service? It hasn't had one in a VERY long time and it has started to do some very weird things(astron auto). Such as if your doing a 4500rpm 2nd>3rd shift(you always have to when powering up hills on the highway), when it decides to shift instead of going into third it just slips into neutral and naturally jumps to 5500-6000rpm(even higher possibly if you dont catch it, luckily i have). I have been told this is because the filter is so old and so clogged that the oil is'nt flowing very freely so it goes into neutral to protect itself. So how much would a complete tranny service to fix this problem be? Also the water pump is completely rooted, how much including labour would it cost to get this fixed?

my auto service cost me $70... but mine wasn't playing up like yours was, I just had some clunking gear changes! I think you might have to get it checked out and go from there!!
