Yeah, the $250 price I paid will increase to approx. $280 next time around due to the higher price of the Toyota fluid they told me, which I still think is a great price as it does include a complete flush. The most expensive quote I had from another local workshop was over $500 for the exact same thing...!
It was done by the guys at Goodyear Service Centre at Castle Hill (first time I had been there) so I doubt there was only one mechanic in the workshop.
Yes they did use a cork gasket, which I have no problem with at all. Can't really see a benefit in using a rubber gasket instead as there's no great pressure in the pan itself ( at least that my understanding ) so cork should be fine. The gasket came with the repco service kit which also included the filter they used.
Very happy with the job they did so I would go there again. How many workshops would just throw in a standard spec oil and be done with...?
Here in Sydney I would have to say quite a few, so I am glad that these guys used the recommended fluid.
