I don't know if it's true, but I heard 70% of dealer revenue is generated through maintenance/ repair, not through car sales. Maybe someone else from the biz can chime in. There has already been the push for overpriced "proprietary tools" for minor repair (brake pads, etc.). The "shade tree" mechanic will be a thing of the past.
