    Having a hard time finding a good mechanic, my last resort is the dealership on whittier blvd.

    I need to get a drain and flush of my auto tranny. Found a recommended mechanic so he can do the work. He uses all toyota fluids, but when I asked how he flushes the transmission. He said he drops the oil pan and filter then starts the engine shifts, turns off car poors more transmission, then rinse and repeat until he gets 17 qts in there. I find it hard this doesnt damage the transmission. He has great yelp reviews.

    I also need timing belt done.


    Thanks in advance for any help....

    ^joel knows what he's talking about, also Shereef, the Auto Care center on NE Norwalk/Whittier, has always done great work on both my Nissan truck and my taco
