Check the fluid first. If its pinkish it should be ok I would think. If is a darker, maybe oil or murky color time for a flush. I don't know if there is a recommends mileage for our cars though. Also that price quote I have was for a corolla. Could be 200 for a premium car.

How do you check the fluid with no dipstick?

There should be a dipstick to check the atf fluid. Same as you would your oil. It won't be as obvious as the oil dipstick though. Its usually shorter and harder to get to.

There is no dipstick for the transmission... Its a "non-serviceable" unit that uses "world standard fluid" that is, according to Toyota/Lexus, a "lifetime" fluid and does not require changing.
