I *really* don't trust auto dealers, especially after our local
Chevy dealer said I needed to flush my transmission. He'd obviously not read the book.

Dealer service departments have become a profit center for dealers,
perhaps a bigger part of their bottom line than the sale of cars.
The service writers are on commission and the mechanics are rated on
production. They have a great incentive to sell services that return a
lot of profit. (fast and expensive)

I imagine the dealer has one of those transmission flush machines and
just like a hospital with an MRI machine, it is not making money if
they are not using it so everyone "needs" it..

That's why we go to George's Auto Hospital.

The thing about small places is they have to actually find out what's
wrong, unlike a dealer who just sends some trained monkey to the parts
dept and changes stuff till it fixes it
