Dealers charge from $300 to $600 for oil,primary and trans. if you can afford to throw that kind of money at a Hd dealership.
they will be happy to take it. just check the work they often screw it up.

I once got an oil/filter change from Chuck's Deluxe in Gillette, WY. $70...but I was on a trip and it was time.
They messed up my voltage regulator plug. I didn't discover it until 30 miles down the road, when my battery started fading. At that point, the leads on the plug and staor were ruined. I've changed my own oil/filter hundreds of times and never touched that plug.
F'kin' oil change from the dealer wound up costing me $400.

with a 1k, and then one at 5k and incremental after that, you've had them do 9 maintenances....so far you've paid $133 a pop, but you are on track for them to do about 6 more before the time is up.....15 maintenances for 1200, provided they do it right, it's a great deal

Changed my oil when I was in wheel chair. Did a bit of work, went fast. Cause once I was on ground I was not getting up until I really had too.
Get some pads to kneel or lay on if you need. I buy sleeping bag pads and cut them up.
I horse mats on floor. But those are known kinda hard. The money you spend at dealer could buy some really good pads.
I don't do fluid changes on jack. Table would be nice. But time to get it up there, I am half done. But probably will someday

Nope, read a neat trick on this great forum: remove your filter while on kickstand - that in combination with filter funnel on my last oil change not a single drop was on the floor !
