First Trip to the Dealership for service

Hi All

I've posted a few questions on here already concerning my used 2007 Prius I purchased a little over a month ago. Thank you for all of the help!

I hit 5k miles already on it, so I arranged an oil change with the dealership I purchased it from. At the suggestions of many on this forum, I also requested the transaxle fluid to be flushed and replaced. My Prius has 57k miles and I do not think it has ever been done before.

The dealership performed the oil change and rotated my tires. They performed an alignment on the vehicle at no charge, since it needed an alignment and I had only had the vehicle less than 2 months. However, the dealership refused to do the transaxle fluid. They cited that they checked the fluid and nothing was wrong with it. In good conscience, they could not put a cost on me to replace something that did not need replaced.

Essentially, the dealer was giving me the same talk that the fluid should last at least 100k miles and likely much more. I believe the word "lifetime" was also thrown in, I cant remember.

So I am a bit torn now as to what to do. Any thoughts?
