minus-squarelu5ty@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoDealers make 10x the sale amount on service and repairs. Why the fuck would they want to sell cars that require almost no service? lol
minus-squareDeepfriedWings@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoFor real. Car dealerships are set up in such a way where the almost benefit off screwing over unsuspecting customers that come in for services. Why in the world would they want to support something that directly eats their profits? The markup on an oil change alone is astronomical.
