Anyone on here from MA that could do all fluid changes?

I am new to this site and just wondering if anyone knows of a good place in MA that could change all my fluids; ie Coolant, power steering, oil, transmission, etc. Trying to avoid the high price of the dealership and also would be great to learn.. 05 6MT TL let me know, thanks!

I have found Acura of Auburn to be pretty fair in their pricing, although I am sure a local guy could do it for less. But I also go there because of the warranty. So far, they have done my 3rd gear synchro, sub rattle, battery, wheel bearing, sway bar and axel all for free.
Where about in MA are you?

Contact Mitchell Smith at Mechanics Direct, www.mechanicsdirect.com you can call them. Mitch is the local NSX specilaist but his shop is an Acura specialist. Mitch was the foreman at Acura of Boston for 10 years and does very good work, I'd say BETTER than the dealership and his prices are less.

I will definitely learn how to do all of the following so I can start doing it myself in the future.. When I'm up that way I'll stop by your shop and check it out, Thanks!

duuuuude, shits so easy to do yourself, im sure there are plenty of DIY writeups on the internet to learn, tranny fluid on standards is easy, you unbolt drain bolt, drain out, put bolt back in, fill up til it pours out of fill hole. brakes you need two people, one person to pump pedal and hold while you bleed out the old fluid. engine oil is the easiest thing i would say, undo the bolt ont he oil pan, oil comes out, twist off oil filter, put new one on but make sure to lube new filters o ring with oil. fill up until oil is at max line on dipstick
