I'm at 85K miles, so 90K is near.

Maybe I have trust issues from past automotive service experiences, but for those of us who will need a dealership to do this, how will I know it's even done at all? I can't craw under the car to see oily finger marks that they even touched it.

Using an example, just for discussion. Let's say I have 60K miles, and I want the AT fluid service. They recommend 90K. If they charge me, and don't do it, everything will still be fine for many miles and many years. And no one can prove it was never done.

My Challenger only visits Dodge dealerships.

I welcome comments on my paranoia. TIA.

Haven't done this yet for me. But I did take a step by clipping the coupon for $50 off from one dealership and $75 off from another. Coupon good till 12/31/25.

New question.

The official answer from Dodge is that it's "lifetime." Let's go with that for now. That would mean most of their dealership Technicians probably never done one themselves. How would they have any experience doing this (correctly) if it's lifetime and not a needed service at all. Therefore, I would be paying for a service, dealership prices, on something they perhaps are not good at or never done it?

If you go to a shop that works on BMWs regularly, they use the 8HP70 in multiple models

A Guy

And recall reading that BMW actually does have a service interval for this service and not "lifetime."

Has anyone taken their Challenger (Charger/300) to a independent BMW repair shop?
