Need a tune up and just called the dealer. Transmission was 185.00 and a "tune up" guessing just plugs? 199.95.

That sounds right? When my jeeps cold I hear a very slight knock but have no codes.

Total for both was 199.95 or tune up alone was 199.95?

I'm guessing for each service. Skip the tune up & do it yourself. I paid $20 or something like that for the plugs at my local dealership and did it myself. while I'm sure its not to difficult to do a transmission fluid change, I like having it documented & the lack of a transmission dipstick is a hindrance. I've toasted 2 transmissions that my lifetime power train warranty took care of.
