    I need to do difs and cvt flush. I have read that some shops just do drain and refill but I want to keep a car for a long time and would prefer to do a full flush.

    Q1. Should I do a full flush?
    Q2. Any shop on this side of the town?

    I know about alexanders import auto repair and JM Automotive but they are far out from me.

    JM is actually pretty close to Maple Grove... Technically Osseo, but still.

    I would just go to JM auto if you want thorough service. Not certain on the Subaru CVTs but the CVTs in Nissan, Honda and Mini aren't exactly the most resilient type of transmission out there for longevity..

    +10 points for JM. If the distance means you can't leave the car there make an appointment even if its a little ways out.

    Does drain and refill mean all oils will be drained? I thought I heard people saying that some do not drain it completely. Am I missing something?

    Drain and refill typically just gets most of the fluid out by gravity via the drain plug. A "flush" is typically pumping fluid through until it comes out clean but it varies greatly by type of mechanical system.
