WS trans fluid turns brownish rather quickly. It's normal. I know 225 sounds like a lot of money but i think they were fair with you. It's really not fun to fill a WS trans to the right level. On the bright side, you accidentally got a trans fluid drain and fill.

I'm really glad it's fixed.I was not thinking about money at that point only for them to sort it out. I think $225 was fair enough. Even if he'd say $600 I'd still go ahead and had them fix it. They did lay into me for messing with it which I understand , but all and all I did bring them business. Closest Lexus dealer from me is about 4hrs away and that would make it a hefty bill. I think they would jack up the bill if I wasn't there on stand by. Since the sales person insisted on me leaving it all day. After all it took them about 1 to 1 1/2 hr of labor with me helping to push it in making sure they don't drive it as is. Car runs as it has before, keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for all info! This is a great forum site
