Default Good shop for Transmission/Diff oil change

Does anyone know a reliable shop around Lakewood area? I want to do these oil changes myself, but don't have the time.

If you have the time to take your S to a shop to change the transmission and differential fluids, and you have the tools necessary, the job only takes a few minutes, less time that it would to drive it there, wait for the work, and drive it back.

There are a few DIY threads in Under the Hood. Once you get your car up on jack stands, it is very easy.

I am no mechanic but pretty much done oil, differential, tranny fluid changes and
It has a rewarding feeling after you finish it. You can do it and its a lot cheaper.

I have never paid for someone to work on my car. I learned everything I know from forums. especially on this car, I have changed, maintained and wrenched on my own car. It's so easy when the DIYs on here are spot on

You just need the right tools to do them yourself. Harbor Freight or Sears.


Oh and please be very very very very VERY VERY VERY cautious when your car is on Jack Stands. I like to push/pull/tug from every corner and angle before getting under the car. But thats just me

you need a pump to fill up the tranny and diff. its messy and a pain if you don't have the right tools. if you're lazy take it to alex at balladesports or evasive.
