I have paid between 500-700 for most older automatics. If you pull it yourself you can get closer to 400. It doesn't take long for them to pull it. They have the lift and the tools to do the job quick. When I did it for a living I could pull a trans in a RWD truck or car in about 30 mins. Now that I am working on the ground and don't have a fancy jack it takes me about an hour+time to drain the tranny. All that said if you pay more than 700 total I think you are getting screwed unless you are getting a high stall torque convertor or a new valve body.
