1) Cabin air filter replacement - Charge $55
2) Auto Transmission fluid is dirty, so it has to be replaced - Charge $65

My Question is, if I want to do these above changes by myself where can I get the air filter and transmission fluid cheaper (may be Honda genuine or recommended) and do you guys have any instructions or suggestions for how to replace them?

Thanks in advance.
Used Honda with 35k miles? At the 30k, ALL of these things should have already been done. Part of the 30k is to replace the air filter, cabin filter, and ATF. If the selling dealer would've done the saftey inspection the proper way, all of that is work that should've been done prior to selling the car. I think that dealer is trying to take you for a ride.
