More to the point of the trans fluid, it also took me three dealerships before finding one I can sort of trust for warranty work. The place I bought the car from auto-signed me up for 3,000 mile out-of-pocket oil changes despite a 10,000 mile interval. When I asked about it, the guy responded with "Look, buddy" and it went downhill from there. The second one left the dash 3/4 torn apart while replacing the actuator, but the third has been decent so far.

And the sad part is that their quality has improved about 200% in the last ten years or so.
