See that's the thing. They have not dumped the oil and checked the filter yet. This is the first thing I would do. Checking the filter, compression, etc. I feel like these are things they should suggest they do first instead of just saying a transmission drop is needed. I'm not sure if I should have to ask them to do every little thing. Am I wrong to expect a response like "We checked that and that and that over there, so based on these results were going to have to do this next"?

The service writer claims the tech troubleshot the issue and the tech didn't see a need to do so since it would cost me more...

By the way I just paid this shop 2053$ to replace all 4 shocks/struts and 2 front lower control arms a week ago, and I supplied all the parts.
