+1 on service writers. They usually make $ off commission. Every time I go in for my free (or deeply discounted) oil change, I get the list of "urgent action items" that he STRONGLY recommends. They have even started giving me a 4 page color "personalized action list" that shows lots of worst case scenario pictures and lots of red/bold sentences. I bet they get a lot of suckers with these scare tactics.
I can't remember the last time I had ANY of my cars alignment adjusted. My current cars have 90K and 49K miles and have never had an alignment. The highest mileage car I have ever had was a '93 Ford Ranger that had well over 200K on it when I got rid of it...no alignment ever. I think I put 3 sets of tires on it while I had it.
If it's not called for in the manufacturers list of maintenance, I don't have it done.
Oh yeah...I am also loving the "Hey...you will get a survey, if you can't give me a 10, then please don't do it...OK? Is that OK?" Happens every single visit.
