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?
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.
