I think the garage I go to is worse than the dealer. Manual for my '03 Forester calls for oil change and tire rotation. I knew dealer was pushing brake fluid change in his literature and I was going to argue with him but local garage had emailed me coupon for free tire rotation so I went there. He hits me with need to change differential fluid at
15,000 miles and said I should do next time I come in. Paper he gave me said "severe service" but even then Forester manual says nothing. As a retiree, I don't drive a lot, don't take all short trips, don't pull a trailer and off roading is moderate Reason I'm posting is that it looks like you have to question and be dubious about everybody you take your car to.
