front differential service

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
Replied by facade on topic front differential service
No idea what a throttle body service is, maybe they clean it?
The front differential simply needs an oil change, mainly to make sure there is no water inside as unless off-roaded a lot, they don't do many miles. You can do this yourself very easily, you have to buy a 10mm square key to undo the filler plug (1st) and the drain plug (2nd) and a bottle of the correct oil.
The transmission is a big problem, they shouldn't use a drop of oil unless there is a leak. You did check it exactly as in the handbook, with the engine and gearbox fully hot? The fluid expands a lot and shows very low when cold and correct when hot.
