Are you sure they weren't trying to upsell her a transmission fluid change? (Not many places overhaul transmissions and your car is still under warranty). If in fact that was what happened and depending on the car, it might actually be called for as regular maintenance. Just saying ...

And no, I don't use them and have never used them. Many of these place use oil changes as a loss leader to get you in the door to upsell other services (which may or may not be needed). They may also not have the exact fluids needed for your car. You need to be familiar with the maintenance schedule for your car.

I have used AccuTech on 301 in Oxford for the things I don't care to do.

When they tried telling my wife that she needed a complete transmission overhaul (@27,000 miles) after asking only for an oil change...she called me.

They weren't happy when I arrived and told the guy that he should be behind bars...for the shady BS they were trying to pull.

Sadly, I'm sure all too many elderly and not to mechanically inclined residents are being taken to the cleaners...every single day.
