Isn’t this solved by having your car serviced with an independent mechanic? The only catch is warranty work, which is pretty unavoidable unless you’re willing to pay for repairs in lieu of free ones.
A lot of independent mechanics will use the manufacturer scan tool and service applications or use a 3rd party scan tool/applications that is licensed through the manufacturer and still uploads the data.
