good shop to change fluids

I wanted to take my car into a shop to change my oil, diff and tranny fluids. I want to avoid Pflueger service as much as possible. Any recommendations of shops that can do this on my car? Any shops that use Redline?

Ever think of DIY or at least one of those 'install days'? You'll learn that it is almost as easy as wiping your ***. And GL-5 doesn't stink as much as **** either.

Ever since I moved placed, I don't have the space or even the time to do the change myself. I usually do. That's ok, we'll see how well vakamon does.

Just curious how much they charge for this kind of stuff? And what services should be done. I have an '04 STi with about 29K miles. I've done oil changes before, but never trans or diff changes. Ryan, if you're watching, can you Pm me some pricing and recommended services. Thanks

Tried to PM you, but your box is full. It's a pretty easy job to do, we typically use Redline MT-90 for the trans and Redline 75w-90 for the rear diff, but there are a lot of good fluids on the market. If you decide to do it yourself, you just need a couple simple hand tools, a skinny funnel and an oil pump for the rear diff. If you need help doing it or want to schedual an appointment, don't hesitate to call.
