Recommended fuel service

I will. Thanks for your approval.

 

This isn't binary -- nobody's suggesting the OP go back and demand their money back or take the dealership to court (which you're correct is likely to fail). But that doesn't mean we can't call it a scam informally and suggest that next time it be avoided.

I've found reading what the maintenance code/manual calls for and only asking for those things helps. "I'd like the oil changed and tires rotated" (or whatever), never "I need a 30,000 mile service" or even an "A1 service", which leads them to pull out their list of "dealer recommended" 30,000 service items which is much longer and more expensive. And even then, I only ask for the "action" items like changing oil; most of the "inspect <X>" things are basic visual inspection that they should be doing anyway (and often advertise elsewhere that is included with every service), not something that should be an extra set of charges.

 

Definition of scam: a dishonest scheme; a fraud.

If a dealership tries to tell you that you need service that you don’t really need, I could classify that as a dishonest scheme.

 

100% gasoline is widely available in Okla. In fact, there are more stations in my area that sell 100% gas than those that sell E10.
