They certainly stand to lose more if they f*ck you over.

yeah... I hear you, but you still can't trust everything your dealer's service dept. says...

the service advisors have some of the most stressful jobs out there... they're prone to mistakes and they DO get paid commission on the time they sell for their technicians no matter how much work the car needs. They're alot more likely to actually do the work they say, but they charge you 2 hours of labor to do things that may take 20 mins... then they charge 100 bucks an hour...
