Anyway, so as not to find yourself in the same scenario, I would suggest once you have it narrowed down to what your looking for, go hang out in the dealers maintenance shop ...
Best of luck to you
Thanks!

I've been doing a lot of "networking" the past week or so. So far, I've been getting the expecting mix of mostly good things with a few minor complaints every now and then for most of the other dealers within 50 miles or so of me. The local Nissan dealer and a Chevy dealer in another town are the only ones getting mostly bad reviews and even they have their fans.

Maybe I'm expecting too much. It just seems to me that when I pay to have "all the fluids changed (except the differential; did that about 10K miles ago), change the intake and cabin air filters, and do the 30K scheduled maintenance" that the power steering bottle would be above touching the low line, the battery would have been checked (can't swear that they didn't check it but there was dust on the top and caps when I got home), the cabin air filter would be replaced, and the tires would have more than 210kPa in them (they were at 230-235 two days before, so I'm guessing they couldn't read the tag in the door jamb (240kPa) and let some air out). Oh! And they changed the oil change alert to 5K miles without asking even I had told the Service Rep that I stick to the factory 3750. I don't have a lot of confidence that they actually did the trans/brake/coolant flushes.
And that's just one visit to one dealer.

But anyway. Life is good - much better than I deserve - so I'll just grit my teeth, find a car I can get worked on, and carry on.
