I'll be taking the car to a shop because changing the ATF is apparently a big PITA. I'll be getting it changed and not flushed (is there a difference?) and I'm afraid and don't know where to take it to get serviced because it seems like a big job and I don't want anyone to mess up.. would a dealership be a safe place to take this? I heard that you have to shift gears multiple times to drain the fluids completely.

Use only Toyota OEM AT fluid. Do not flush, only drain and fill. Flushing can cause more damage such as bending fins in the transmission. The dealership will be able to do it per the manual but at a higher cost.
