While that is true, the tranny in our car is not exactly one that most tranny shops see on a regular basis and even if they do know how to fix it labor rates are often quoted in the 10-12 hour range. Terry at least is extremely familiar with our car and has upgrades that no one else uses. If you can deal with his "attitude" then he is probably the best person you will find to do the work and he is fairly reasonable in how much he charges.
YMMV and at least two guys who used to be local have worked on their own trannys, so it just depends on your priorities. I don't think someone can be blamed for using the best resources possible if they can afford it...
