I work with a guy who used to work in a tranny shop...their fluid change consisted of dumping some bright red dye in the gearbox so the fluid looked fresh. An uninformed consumer is the easiest victim, and I'm sure there are some mechanics who delight in sticking it to "rich guys" in fancy cars. I didn't watch the video, and the thread was turning into a ***** session about incompetence, not flat-out thievery, so I assumed that the video dealt with the incompetence issue.

As an aside, in the dealership where I work, the most dangerous people are the $8/hour porters who drive high-end cars in a fashion that would not amuse their owners. It's like valets...amazing how much rubber they can burn in 1/2 block.
