Has anyone attempted to rent out a car lift at a repair shop or gas station to work on your own vehicle... at least just to be able to do some of the more meticulous aspects of it, like ATF changes on Toyota WS "lifetime" ATF? As it no longer have a dipstick, there is a specific procedure to measure the ATF level and it involves letting the fluid warm up within a specific temperature window before taking measurements using the overflow or standpipe method.

I see a lot of mechanics ignore the procedure and simply put in fluid that is either the same volume as what they've taken out or put in more than what is recommended.... not to mention, ignore the temperature requirement altogether.
