[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do dealers expect to get away with defrauding people like this? It's criminal.[/quote] Two reasons - Many service departments have their advisors on commission, and most people don't know any better. Folks, find a reputable independent repair shop that works on your type of vehicle and stay away from the dealerships.[/quote] The newer the car, the more you are forced into dealerships for repairs. Most brands have proprietary diagnostic tools now. Generic OBD readers still work, but the give a fraction of the information.[/quote] My independent shop is still great at this. I've been going to the same place for about 15 years with both older and late model cars. They've only sent me to the dealer for one repair during that time for a problem that they could diagnose but could not repair due to the specialized tools that were required. Not saying Gomer down at the filling station is going to be able to work on your Tesla, but for most brands, you can find an independent shop that can perform most repairs.[/quote]
