Default Re: Dealer service dept. revenues increase if they had reasonable prices?

Again... I never said the service industry didn't have a place in society... obviously they do. Just... at a very simple basic level, could a dealer increase revenue by modifying pricing/policies on customer pay operations.

That's all
That is what is contradicting. You are saying someone is worth x amount of dollars and in the same posts mention how they should be cheaper.

There are reasons they can't be cheaper and reasons why people pay for the service. It costs a lot more to run a dealership Service Dept than an Independent shop.
