Labour Charges for ATF Flushing

[jetschin]

My mechanic charged RM150 for labour to do an ATF flush for my E39. Never mind the labour charged but the mechanic said there was a need for programming and that is why the 150 bill, all-in. I am doubtful. Can anyone help clarify this need for programming in an ATF flush? I mean is there such a need?

Never heard of that too.. I just ask my mechanic & he is doubtful too..

it all depends on the mechanic's or the service center polices to charge or free..
