Now, that's a broad, broad statement. The dealer *may* maximize his
income IF you just wave your hand and say "whatever" when you're asked
what needs done.

If you're specific in your business dealings, like you should be, no
dealer would have a chance at fleecing you.

And in fact, my dealership *is* a quality service shop.

There's no need to avoid the dealer at all. And remember, if you don't
do it yourself you stand a chance at being ripped off by EVERY shop you
go to.

So the advice "find a quality service shop" is good advice, but don't
assume the dealer is any worse than any other shop as you shop around
for a service place. In fact, the dealer may be better than any other
shop around--and you don't want to miss out on that.
