Default 2004 Scion xA automatic

So I did a fluid change at about 145k took it on a road trip from Michigan to Colorado did some driving through the mountains and made it home no problem about 2 weeks later
I was driving going about 55 slowed down to make a turn went to give it the gas and it wouldn't move, if I rev it up to 4k it will move very very slowly it's almost like it's stuck in a higher gear?

I need help figuring this out.

Have you checked the level of the automatic transmission fluid (ATF)? While you're at it, how does it smell? Burned and brown is very bad.

Called the local Toyota dealer today... That was a mistake lol they quoted me at 3600 bucks. I laughed at her, they won't rebuild it for me. How hard of a job is this gonna be?

Rebuilding an automatic transmission isn't cheap. Pulling one out of a front wheel drive car isn't one of my favorite jobs. (A rear wheel drive transmission is much easier to get out.) My guess is about $2,500 is as good as it's going to get. Do some checking around and see if a local shop you can trust will do better on price. Or, you could try finding a junkyard transmission and having somebody install it for you.
