Observation on Dealer “Service Packages”
The wife has a 2 year old Chevy Traverse that she really likes and we always have the oil changed at the purchasing dealer, who we really like too. I’ve always changed my own oil but at $38.95 for 5...

I get lifetime oil changes and seasonal safety inspections included in my sales price. Those thieves at the dealership LOVE to pile on additional charges. My wife dropped off her car around 15K miles and they tried to upsell her all kinds of stuff. I think it was around $350 or so. Basically all they offered was an oil change (no charge) and "check" a bunch of stuff and injector service, etc etc. Well... the seasonal safety inspections check all the things that they check. Luckily my wife called me and I came in. The crook service advisor was telling me that we NEEDED this package. I showed him my owners manual and asked him to show me where it was required. I laughed, asked for the no cost oil change and safety inspection.
