New to Phoenix and Camaro - Need Service Shop Recommendations
I just received my 2011 2SS SIM Camaro a month ago, and have just moved Virginia to Gilbert. I've reached the 1000 mile mark, and would like to get some recommendations on a good shop to take my baby to for the first oil, trans, and diff change. Anyone had good experience with a shop in the area I can take it to? I'll be bringing the fluilds and a new magnetic oil drain plug to the shop, so I am looking for the labor only.
For those about to suggest doing myself, I would like to, but I don't have any of the required tools (jack, jackstands, torque wrench, etc) to get this done. I'm still on the fence on whether to bite the bullet and make the investment to get the tools and do it myself. Since I don't have much experience in getting cars on jack stands, I'm a bit apprehensive about getting the car up to get this done. I would really hate to start jacking up the car and have something go wrong. Recommendations please? |

you can buy some car ramps instead of jack stands.....

Thanks for the suggestion! I thought there were issues with getting to the diff and trans with ramps - hard to access, drainage issues without having the car level. Have you been able to do the trans and diff with ramps?
I had considered the ramps for the oil changes. I'll likely do that anyway... |
