In the past you told us that you had all the powertrain fluids changed for $100 - $150.

Remove and reseal the transmission pan, “pan drop” is 1 hour labor. Fluids cost $100 for transmission, rear differential and transfer unit. Shop supplies, 9% sales tax.

I don’t think you can get a drain and fill for $100.
