Any benefit to shifting the auto from D to N at a stop?

I checked out my car the other day, still running brand spanking new since the day i got it. Had it CVI'ed by every auto mechanic shop in my city and in the city near my work.

Spent 135.31 in a span of 3 weeks but hey, second opinions are always wise. As for why i did it. I was worried that with all the stalling that i did when i first got the car that it would be worn down or would start to wear down quicker than usual so i had it checked. I was skeptical with the first clean bill of health but you can't deny the 4 other shops that said the same.

As for me personally, i don't turn off the car if i don't need to but its nice to know that turning it back on from a warm start isn't so bad that it'll wear out the car as quickly as you think.

as for shifting to neutral and stuff, i personally think you probably don't want to do it if you're not even going to be sitting there for long, but you gotta think about it too, if it was so bad for the car why would they be designed with the ability to shift into neutral if you have an automatic. Ionno, i wouldn't know so *shrugs*
