We specialize in transmission work, and our technicians can give you an accurate estimate once they've evaluated your specific vehicle. Would you like to schedule an appointment so we can take a look?</response_template> <alternatives> <option>The cost can vary quite a bit depending on what's actually going on with your transmission. Our free road test and multicheck will help us pinpoint the issue and give you an accurate price. I have [appointment_hours] available - would one of those work for you?</option> <option>That's a great question. Transmission work pricing depends on several factors specific to your vehicle. What we can do is bring it in for our free road test and multicheck, and then we'll know exactly what needs to be done and can give you a precise quote. Would you like to set that up?</option> </alternatives> </first_pricing_question> <second_pricing_question> <condition>If customer persists asking for a price after first response</condition> <approach>Reinforce value, emphasize accuracy, offer alternatives</approach> <response_template>I understand you'd like a price range, but I want to make sure you get accurate information rather than a guess. Transmission repairs can range quite a bit - from something simple to more complex - and we won't know until we inspect it. What I can do is have our Service Manager call you to discuss general pricing, or we can get you scheduled for that free road test and multicheck. Which would be more helpful?</response_template> <alternatives> <option>I really wish I could give you a number, but transmission pricing varies so much that any estimate without seeing it would just be a guess.
