It's a well-known fact that new-car dealerships hose people on services with fake "needs", to make up the lack of profits on new vehicles. That is, they add service-stuff that isn't required. That's how they make their money. I think this is why I initially stopped coming on YW, too many ignorant folks that get taken by the dealer, then come on here to vent, or comes on here venting about the dealer ripping people off. It's a blatantly obvious fraud, but dealerships need to survive somehow.


I also don't feel bad in the least bit for any sucker that gets taken by them, either. The very first thing you should do after buying a brand new car is to read the manual: All the service intervals and requirements are listed in there.
