This...^Of course it doesn’t happen so often during more extensive services because those are done by people who actually may deserve the „(trained) technician” label. Fluid changes, on the other hand, are done by the same boys that serve you hamburgers at mcdonalds.
... It’s about reducing the payroll costs.

Just follow the maintenance minder. When your oil hits 15% oil life, that's when you should bring in your car for a change. Plus when your service is due, your car will tell you anyway. For the first service, all you need is an oil change a tire rotation if you want, nothing else.im currently at 2,150 miles. When do you sugguest getting an oil change?

Interestingly enough I went to the dealerrater website as suggested by @kg4fxg and I found the dealer I went to (Autonation Honda of Dulles) and the service reviews are quite awful compared to the rest in the area. On Google though, they have a near 5 star rating so its weird how theres that much of a difference.
Will be taking this car to the dealer where I bought it at from now on (Honda of Tysons Corner) because I know for a fact that they're good. Havent picked up the car yet because im currently in NYC for business, but will be driving back home soon and will pick up the car and talk to service manager today. I called yesterday to speak with him and he said he'd call me back but never did, why am I not surprised.
You have to trust me when I say this, but Google reviews are so easily faked 90% of dealers and mechanic shops have a majority of fake reviews. Don't ask me how I know...My dealer kept pushing for a good review on Google. In fact I was promised a free oil change if I did so.
