Depend what needs to be done, so a guess with $$$ will be just that.
But a minimum would be to get the trans serviced and flushed, radiator flushed, leads and plugs, oil & filter change, air cleaner. That all there would be around $400 bucks or so. As with the shop to take it to, I would go Autotech Enginering (Granville) or Cresent Motorsports (Liverpool)

Joe at Cresent Motorsport at Liverpool does a lot of LPG work ... and has been working on my work ute ever since I got it. Have never had a problem with him or the work done there.

Depending on the work getting done ... and the time taken .... will vary on the cost.

$400 sounds a fair price for getting all fluids flushed ... it depends if anything else needs to be done on the vehicle at the time. Joe is straight forward and will tell you what needs to be done and what doesn't.

Put it this way ... I travel from out passed Windsor to Liverpool to get my ute serviced there ... and have been for the past 2-3 years now.
