For them to tell me they just did a drain and fill when I said flush, which is common for auto tranny flush and they have a sign that says transmission flush with their prices but not if you have your own fluid. Why on earth would they not do a normal flush. Who knows. But when I called back they just put me on hold forever. This is why people don't go to dealerships, this is why I don't buy or service vehicles more than I do at the dealerships. How do they stay in business.........

Oh, man, yeah I feel you on that one. My dad dropped his truck at a garage a few weeks ago to diagnose a starter problem. They said they'd have to keep it overnight. Well, they did that, but they didn't work on it at all the next day and just said "the battery is bad".
I get tired of garages and dealerships pushing unnecessary services on us, too. I caught a garage trying to sell me on some throttle body service a few months after we'd already done it. And then there was the time a garage told me I had a severe exhaust problem. I asked if I could pass emissions with it, they said definitely not. I said, "Funny, because I drove it to your garage from a successful emissions test."
