Can we all agree that filling to improper oil levels has happened? Can we all agree that something like that ever happening is completely unacceptable and that it is something a high functioning retard shouldn't screw up, let alone a certified technician?

Now, can we all agree that if someone else is working on your car, there isn't much that can be done to completely eliminate the risk of what was previously mentioned and that this risk exists to some degree at every shop? However, that one thing that is a good bet and that we can control is taking the car somewhere that performs the procedures on the same/similar engines more often?

That's all I'm saying. Nothing more.

Stripping an oil plug or overfilling oil has zero to do with what dealer worked on the car. A Subaru impact gun will strip an oil plug as fast as a Toyota one. There is zero advantage to having one brand's tech over another change your oil.
Now if rebuilding the engine there may be a small advantage but even then a well trained tech should be able to do the job no matter what engine it is.
