Service at dealer vs mechanics

I dislike Ultratune. I don't trust them to do anything involved like a valve timing check or fuel filter change.

the ultratune boss that is on the commercials doesnt even get his own car serviced with ultratune

Yes he does the inspections, he gives the car a test drive.... Most people dont need a mechanic to let them know their tyres are low, their brakes are going soon, their clutch is wearing out and that you are low on radiator coolant....

I am very skeptical about dealers and their 'inspections' as they are mainly a young apprentice with a clipboard looking at signs of wear and tear which are 'usually' noticeable, and seeing mine/gf's cars are low on k's we are confident that we wont need to worry for a while.... seeing this guy's car is only at 80k, save a dealer service for the 100k

i think you are forgetting that car enthusiasts are the MINORITY of car owners. for most people they are a mode of transport, not a way of life or religion lol

i work in a dealer and i see how clueless most people are on a daily basis.
even the people that think they know what they are on about usually have no idea

Actually yes most people do need a mechanic to tell them what's wrong and what is low, you'd be quiet pleasantly surprised that not everyone in this world is so mechanically minded.
