Default Re: Suggestions on where to go for a fluid flush?

My service guy, not sure if he was telling the truth or trying to scare me, said that I should be careful about going else where - especially for the power steering fluid. Hoping you guys can help me out regarding where to go or what to do. I was thinking the local Jiffy Lube (or similar ??) or is this something that I can do myself? Thanks for any help.
How many miles on this car? The dealer will cost you a small fortune.
I cannot say there is a differential cooling system, oil only.
Power steering service is just sucking out the old and adding the correct fluid, no big deal.
Putting it bluntly the dealer wants to rob you. You should be sble to do it all yourself and if the miles are not too high you can skip some fluid changes.
