Tranny fluid should be done, you just have to see "Dexron VI full synthetic" nothing else, brand doesn't really matter....tranny fluid is just tranny fluid....whatever is cheap, valvoline blue, acdelco, etc...these are just GM trannies. Cost may be ~780-$1000 at independents+dealers.
I just got a quote for $150 for the transmission service (drain and fill + filter/gasket change)

Also check the fluid I posted above.... that will suffice right?
