My favorite part about service places is their "added" services.
I had a very long and loud argument with a tire installer once for opening the hood on my truck when I was there for new tires.
"It's standard procedure"
I was pissed. Absolutely zero reasons to be dicking around with my fluids or filters when I'm paying to have my tires installed.
Don't get me started on the "jiffy" or "oil can" places and there little make believe sheet of colored fluids. They don't even uncap your trans or diff to get a sample of your fluid, not that they should be if your there for only oil. They have bottles of the dirty fluids in the bay and just mock up the placard each time to scare people in an additional charge. Anyone who has swapped diff or trans fluid knows it doesn't happen in the same time it takes to change your oil. Scam.
