But what about the DIY crowd, this is just another ploy to get the car into the dealership for inspection, and the subsequent, guilting the customer into additional "safety" procedures, like brakes, tires, suspension bushings, shocks, or whatever the dealership deems neccesary.
There is something to be said for taking the time to crawl under the car yourself, and change your own oil, and do your own inspections. I realize this world is becoming more "no hassle-hands off" each and every day.
