I called all the Honda dealers around my area and two independent Honda Service Centers about changing the automatic transmission fluid. The dealers told me they only offer the service were they connect a machine to it and flush the entire system. The dealers don't do the just drain the pan option.

Next I called just the independent garages that only work on Hondas and they also mostly go the machine route.

The dealers charge $150 and the non dealers $130. Are there any other options that will get all the old fluid out? I could buy a case and do multiple flushes but the case is $100 at the dealer or $70 plus $25.00 shipping on ebay and you are still not 100% sure you got all new fluid inside plus is basically the same cost as going to the shop and have them do it with the machine.
