Degas bottle right?

I have no equipment to lift my car so I have close to zero DIY ability.What I do is buy parts online (tisher) and take them to an independent shop to get the work done. It saved me a lot of money on basic maintenance. $1000 for oil/tranny fluid/diff fluid is too much imo. I just did that on my Z4MC at 30k mi and it costed me close to $400 total ($90 oil, $150 diff oil, $70 RP tranny fluid, and about $70 in labor). It also helps if you know specifically what work needs to be done if your car has a problem.
