Looking for a local shop for to get fluids done. Suburbs of Illinois only

KrisTallx5 · 03-25-2024, 09:49 AM

Hey guys I have a 2015 xdrive35i and I want to get my transmission and transfer case fluids swapped out. I'm gonna tackle the engine oil and both diffs myself since those are fairly simple..who do you recommend ? I asked the dealer and prices seemed crazy.

Has anyone used https://www.lukegworkshop.com/

They are close to me and I've passed by the shop a few times.

I'd highly recommend German Auto Werks in lake in the Hills.

If you’re in the NW burbs , go to Hollis Bros Autowerks and tell Gilbert I sent you.

I’m in the SW burbs and I frequent EP3 Motorsports in St. Charles.

If you're under there for engine oil and diffs already then tcase and trans are not any harder. Just follow the tcase diy near the top of this forum and the fcp euro diy on their site for trans.

Conversely, if you're already paying someone for the latter just have them do everything. It's sometimes nice to sit back and keep your hands clean if you find a reasonable indy shop.
