I don't think I would bother though, as those "complimentary" inspections are just a way of getting people to bring their cars in, so the dealer can tell them that all kinds of things are wrong, and thus make a fistful of money off them.

Darn. Well, it was worth asking if there was a way.
Well still, it would be good to take it in just for the possibility of seeing if there is something SERIOUSLY wrong.
I'm pretty resistant to being taken, so I can tell whether something is BS or not. (Or just post here :-)) So it'd be good to see if there's an actual valid emergency repair needed or just BS maintenance requests to get my money.
