Fred's right. The tools needed to service an Aurora properly are specific to the Cadillac engine (Northstar - at least this is the case for my 2001 Aurora). It is not unusual for a GM dealer to refer you to a Cadillac dealer if they do not have the right tools to service your car. You may want to question the dealer you are taking your car to about this and it may be worth the travel to find a reputable Cadillac shop elsewhere.
I have been fortunate in being able to find a reputable repair shop and master mechanic (who I admire) that is willing to work on my Aurora, However, my car has become a frustration to him, as it requires a high degree of knowledge specific to the car itself (along with the right tools). There are some things that I will still need to go to a Cadillac dealer with, which is expensive. Unfortunately, this is the reality of having an Aurora, which is considered to be a luxury car by most.
Good luck,
Dan
