re: Dirty Car Dealer Tricks

BG MOA oil conditioner: not a bad product. But completely ppintless if you are using a quality oil.

EFI service: at 15k pointless. But if someone was willing to pull my injectors and flow test them for 309 bucks I'd probably pay it just to watch them want to kill themselves. Realistically, they probably meant dump a can of seafoam in.

AC service: properly cleaning the condensor is a good idea. As is cleaning the air intake below the wipers. They are realistically not going to do either.

Alignment: I actually do like to check the alignment about 15k miles in. Why? Because I'm incredibly rough on a vehicle. Nice to know if the suspension and steering components are holding up.




Having said all of that, some of you are retarded.

"The service department doesn't work on commission." A good service writer makes 10-15k a month. The majority of it...commission.

"The service department mKes more than the sales dept." They do well. Not that well.

"It's a scam to offer people goods pr services during a free service." It's a loss leader. You can have this free...and they get the opportunity to sell you other shite.
