The deal here is that you can't differentiate between American Honda
Motor Corp, which doesn't sell or service cars, and your dealership,
which does sell and service cars.

Your dealership has an automated system that begs people to come in
every 3K miles and spend money.

American Honda Motor Manufacturing built an automated system into the
car that tells the driver when it's time to spend money.

Two very different things, with two VERY different goals.

If you can't differentiate between Honda, the manufacturer and your
Honda dealership, you're ripe for getting fleeced.
