How much should a mechanic charge for this work?

Today, I need to get an oil change, transmission fluid change, and also replace the coolant. I have all the fluids myself including the oil filter. How much should a mechanic charge to have all this changed?How much should a mechanic charge for this work?
oil change at a shop is anywhere from 10 - 49.00

trans service is usually 49 - 55

coolant drain and refill around 50



most shops will not use your fluids/parts. you can ask but most likely not.



hope that helped





p.s. i would do it for about $35 per hour. now that im unemployed.How much should a mechanic charge for this work?
You would be better off to have someone that you know to change all the fluid that your talking about or a small shop would do it ,but i don't think a big shop would change it ,because they make there money by saleing there oil to you.How much should a mechanic charge for this work?
approx 1.5 hour is what I would charge depending on model of vehicle. I have seen some vehicles the cross member needed to be removed to access the trans filter which will make for about another 1.0 labor.
