I had an older customer come into the dealership this morning. He had taken his car to a different dealer for their free "Summer Check Up" and they gave him a laundry list of things they said were wrong with his car.

The whole thing seems like a way to try and scare people into buying a new car. Half the stuff that they wrote down didn't even need to be repaired. They got him so worked up about his car that he was scared to drive it. I can understand trying to persuade someone into buying a new car but to try and scare them and make them feel like their car is unsafe is just wrong.

WTF is wrong with people? No wonder why a lot of people don't like stealerships.
