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?
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.
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.
Yeah. Also it’s not the mechanic fucking a person over. It’s the “service advisors” that get paid for additional things they sell.
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.
