My new car, a 2005 E55 requires oil changes at 10,000 mile intervals. Had one done last fall and the bill was $300.00.
It has no dipstick, all levels are read electronicly. I found a part number for "measuring device" read dipstick. Price $150.00.
My wife had a 2003 Volvo XC, everytime I would try a quick lube place they would never have the correct filter. wasted more time in lineups only to have to book it at the dealer for 30 minutes work.

I used to be a partner in a transmission business and I know what it take to do a proper trans service. It sure as heck cant be done at a quick lube joint.
