“Dealer” refers to service centers that specialize in one or two makes and sell those vehicles. As a franchise dealer:
They use top-quality manufacturer-recommended or “official” parts
Parts usually come with a manufacturer's warranty - ask the dealer about this as details may vary
They have the highest level of training and knowledge, and their labor rates may reflect this
Total Estimate:
Parts
$138 - $163
Labor
$169 - $198
“Independent” refers to a service center that services multiple makes instead of specializing. In addition:
They don't sell vehicles
Because they can use non-official or aftermarket parts, their pricing might seem lower
Independents tend to be generalists with a broad level of knowledge and training on many vehicles
Price includes parts and labor
About Differential Fluid Flush
In addition to wheels, a vehicle’s drive axle includes a differential unit, which uses gears to synchronize the rate at which the wheels rotate. When your vehicle turns, the inside wheels don’t need to make as many rotations as the outside wheels, which have a greater distance to cover. The differential helps keep the axle from binding up from this difference in turning rates. A thin coat of oil lubricates these gears, and that oil needs to be changed from time to time. Your owner’s manual or maintenance minder will tell you when to replace it. If the oil becomes contaminated or the level drops too low, the gears could be damaged, which would lead to a more expensive repair or replacement.
