I went into the dealership for the 40k mile service which involved some fluid changes, tire rotation and brake wear test. I walked out of there $1300 poorer, after they nickel and dimed me for a bunch of other things that came up during the inspection. I even turned down some of the “suggested services.” I won’t be going back there again. Anyone else get this treatment?
This! I don’t. I kept their devices (gave them away to a mechanic) (looked up the brand - $1,300 or so - recording devices) they left in my car after they drove it around for 200+ miles. They never even called about it 😂. Win some, you lose some.
You mean the diagnostic computers…like Snap-On…you do know that some mechanics bring their own tools/boxes to work right?! Just don’t go there…don’t take a working man/woman’s stuff.
Yea because they haven’t finished paying them off most likely.
Yeah. Also it’s not the mechanic fucking a person over. It’s the “service advisors” that get paid for additional things they sell.
Where does the service writer get some of that information from? Things like “the brakes are worn” or fluids are “leaking.”
Hint: the mechanic
The mechanic might not get the bonus part of it, but they will make their money on what it pays to do that service that was sold.
Most dealers don’t do that anymore for this exact reason. I’m sure they will bonus for some things but it won’t be off gross revenue on the ticket. I was a service writer in a different life.
“Most dealers don’t do that”… you mean only the ones who have been called out for it.
Bullshit.
Maybe don’t drive a customer’s vehicle over 200 miles and they will return your equipment when you leave it in their car instead of assuming it was a gift.
Wow. Why not be the better person?
Why couldn’t they just be honest? I have many questions as well.
You kept a mechanic’s $1,300 diagnostic tool(s)?
Nah, that’s one you should 100% feel bad about. Keep the salesperson’s laptop next time.
