Best place for gearbox flush in south west
Hello all, I'm looking to get my autobox flushed. No apparent problems but it's done 135k and I can't find any clue from the history that the oil has been changed. I'm based in South Wiltshire but don't mind travelling a bit for the right service at the right price. I did PM Geoff. on the forum a while back but I've since seen a post that indicates he's out of action for a while so I don't want to hassle him. Glous Road Gearboxes in Bristol quoted me £340+VAT and JGS in Kettering seem to be £260 (I think inc VAT but not entirely sure from their website) - certainly cheaper but is it the same service as a Megaflush would be? Any other suggestions from the group?
many thanks

I messaged him the other day, I don’t think he’s as mobile as he used to be.

Gear box flush v New gear box sump/filter change inc Oil
Garage next to me that only deals in gearbox's said they will change the gearbox sump and refit a new 2 piece with filter and then fill with fresh gear box oil - £350
Or di I go for a gear box flush which is approx. £280
Your views would be appreciated
Thanks in advance

Flush
Pumps oil & cleaning fluids around and then out, re-fill with fresh oil
Gearbox has less 'lag' at a junction, for example - less 'slap' when changing quickly in stop/start traffic or a hill start - more responsive in Sport, changes all the time when you ask it too.
I was very impressed - not just the difference it's made but Kris did all this on the driveway in a litle over an hour.
