You make an interesting point beyond the basic vehicle maintenance. The ability to even check the transmission fluid level. The two Dodge Chargers I have owned since 2010 and neither of them have a dip stick for the transmission. The tube is there and a removable plug but no dip stick. With the lube jockey usually being the lowest paid employee, you have to wonder how it's done at the dealership. Your experience with not having a transmission dip stick might be more common than you realize.
