Did you know that it is dealer policy to sell you as much of its product and labour it can get away with? The showroom makes little money as margins on sales are squeezed to the bone, They make up for it in the workshop and on parts. I have just looked at a gm 900 that a lady took to a SAAB dealer in London that told her that her car needed 4 discs and front and rear pads and possibly a pair of front callipers to cure brake squeal. Total cost £800.00 plus vat. Cured it with a good clean and some copperslip, Total cost £30.00.
