Sounds like Kevin used the wrong tranny oil in somebody's car. strange mistake for a 'Master' mechanic to make.

GREAT OBSERVATION mudman
It's people like you and Ken Starr, finding the fault in the faultess, who make our democracy work.Fault count:
LIC - 0
AHQ - 1
Gruppe-s - lots
GB - lots
FLI - lots
etc. etc.
And of course this isn't to badmouth anyone else, I'd still consider myself a diehard Gruppe-S supporter for example. But you know, lest the "diet fad" crowd reads your post...

I'm one of these guys who doesn't work on their own car and trusts the mechanic 100%, so reading that a wrong fluid was used put me right off Auto HQ.

Emailed AutoHQ yesterday for a quote and appt, but no answer yet. I guess if I don't hear from them by this afternoon, I'll stop being a puss and call.

^^^^yeah, i kind of noticed that. 
Oh well, I'll call tomorrow. I just figured it be a little easier to get a more accurate quote through email since I want to have a few different things done. Sometimes stuff gots lost or forgotten over the phone, especially if a shop is busy or shorthanded.
