When I brought it to their attention, they quickly agreed to not charge me for the service. (I suspect they knew they had a problem with an employee.)

Extending the interval increases the impact of a lower quality oil change or one that was never done.

I heard of an older couple that apparently never got the oil changes they paid for with the expected end results.
This is very common, some times filter not changed, oil over fill.
I saw video from dash cam, mercedes amg owner brought his car for transmission oil change.
They didn't even look at order, two technicians took the car and wend for ice cream, brought car back, made a few loops around and pass $700 bill to the owner.

Owners have no visibility in most cases what happening to theirs cars in the shop, and tech is not responsible for anything.
I believe its time to as for web cams in each bay.

I will be happy to be wrong, I want my car last long time.
