Just do it yourself... a tranny fluid and filter is very simple, and a rear diff fluid change is even easier. Just need some jackstands and a few common tools. Air tools are always great, but not neccessary.

i work at tomball kwik kar, we do transmission flush for $99.99(we hook it up to a machine and flush 15 quarts of valvoline atf through your trans. by way of cooler lines and add brand new fluid too it) i dont think trans. filter is necessary yet but hey its up to you

rear differential is, i think, 40 bucks

we arnt a jiffy lube, so we wont rip you off- we'll actually flush the trans and do the diff lol

edit: i'd do the differential yourself, because it is very easy. That is if you want to save some money

transmission is every 60,000 miles

rear differential depends on how hard you are on the gas and if you tow anything. By mileage its every 30,000 miles

also, radiator flush is everything 30,000 miles also

hmm i dont recall the price for a filter change, we rarely get them. the transmission flush machine is suppose to be the best cleaning system out there for transmissions

you can pay like an extra 5bucks and get another 5quarts flush

my friend with a z28 came in and had the milkiest fluid i have ever seen, we flush 25quarts through the system until it was completely free of discoloration. with the machine you can actually see the fluid its pulling out of the trans. soo you can keep flushing new fluid through it until the fluid is cherry red
