Anyone else have experience with the auto tranny fluid change?

on that list of dealer bull$hit.
If it were me, I would change the differential, brake, engine oil fluids. I would inspect the air filters (both intake and in-cabin), wiper blades, and drive belts before replacing any as needed. I would ignore the radiator cap, coolant, and AT fluid unless you're having problems with them
Then again, I don't have an AT, which I would be hesitant to let a dealer service. If SouthArk has good experience, other than cost and dealer trust, I don't see why you wouldn't change it every 30K or so. I change both my MT and diff fluids every 15-20K miles.
All of this stuff except the AT fluid is easily DIYable. I never worked on my cars before the Z, but I really enjoy it now
I am also happy not to be lining the dealer's pocket with my hard earned dollars
