Haven’t even opened my hood yet. Technician comes over to my window with an air filter, shows it to me and recommends that it be changed. I decline and watch him take the filter to the adjacent vehicle and reinstall it where he got it from.

So do you look incredibly stupid/retarded or something? No offense, but you just declining it sort of confirms it. How did you not die laughing and confirm that he was actually just making a joke? I'm not saying he was making a joke, but how was it not your reaction to say something about it as ridiculous as it was?

I would have asked and if he doubled down on it as serious, I would have backed out immediately. Edit to add that I would be skeptical as to whether they actually changed the oil or not at the end.
