Does not bother me at all. More power to you. I do know, at some point, many will have to come in to have something repaired.
In our area, there are many shops and quick lube places and the assumption is they are cheaper than a dealer. In actuality, their labor rate is not much less or the same as ours. As for oil changes, most of the time we are less than quick lane places or a dollar or two higher.

Call around and ask what the labor rates are and also ask how much an Oil change/tire rotation runs.

You may be in an area where it's less expensive to have your vehicle serviced at a dealership vs a quick lane place.

This info is for those who drive GM vehicles and the ones who will drive it until the wheels fall off.

Did you know GM offers Parts and Labor *limited lifetime warranty on products, if installed by a GM dealer, on the following items?

- Altenators
- Starters
- Water Pumps
- Shocks / Struts
- Hub Bearings
- Plug wires
- Ignition Coils
- Injectors

* limited means that majority of dealers will cover the labor too. GM has left that option up to the dealer. We cover Parts and Labor because when a part fails, GM will reimburse us for the part at cost +40%. The 40% profit will offset the labor cost.

Also GM offers ceramic brake pad installation for $99.95 per axle on majority of GM products + you get 1 free replacement set of pads when those wear out. You just pay the labor ($40) to have them installed.
