This seems more about repair notifications target than the repairs themselves. Personally, so long as the technicians in the shop aren't locked out by proprietary controls from diagnostics on-site, I couldn't give a damn if the dealership is getting the wireless "notifications" or not.

My dealership tells us about lots of things we "need done". I take the vehicle to a trusted mechanic who either does the work or tells me when they're full of shit
