I don't have a recommendation for a dealer in your area to do the work, but someone in your area should come along shortly with a dealer recommendation.
However, if you decide to do it yourself there is a nice write up in the tech folder

The transmission and cooler take 17.5 quarts and the Mercon SP fluid is about $5 a quart. So just the fluid for the change is $90.00 plus the inline filter and then labor. So the dealers can get a $125 in parts alone, so there price looks pretty steep on the cover of it.
Hope this helps.
