A pre-inspection of a used car I‘m buying (I don‘t know the mechanic he‘s far away) recommended a transmission power flush and a power steering fluid change. It‘s a ‘01 Rav 4 with 55k. Is this really necessary?
NO transmission flush is most likely not needed and can cause tranmission damage , at 55 k it could probally use a transmission fluid change ( not a flush ) the power steering flushes and transmission flushes are normally not needed. Shop's like to sell them becuse they are very profitable for the shop. Not always in the customers best intrest
