Ok, I don't have a garage and I want to get my oil, transmission, and differential fluid changed. I took a nice 1 1/2 hour drive going to all the oil change places around the 270 and sawmill area, only to be turned down. Do I have to go to MAG to get this done? I sure hope not because I don't want to pay an arm and a leg, but if that's what it comes down to then so be it. So, any suggestions?

From that I have experienced, some shops charge more than MAG! I need to double check the exact amount, but last synthetic oil changes was under $70 at MAG. Other places quoted me around $100. :eek: Must need to make it worth their while.
Call around for quotes from Hatem, Performance Auto (Roberts Rd), MAG and Acceleration (23 near Graceland).
I don't trust the quicky shops. :shifty

If you plan on keeping the car for a while, invest that $100 towards buying the tools (jack, jack stands, 14mm allen socket, cheap fluid pump) necessary to do that work yourself. All three can be done in under an hour.

I have an entire room devoted to tools and car parts in my apartment. The only thing is, I don't have a garage. And you'll be hard pressed to see my lazy ass out on the freezing pavement :) I'm a very avid DIY'er, I've done a few swaps and whatnot, always do the work myself. If I had a garage with any type of heat I'd be out there in a second, unfortunately I don't. I'll have to call around to those places and see when I get back in town on Monday, thanks!!!!
