Honestly in 25 years I've only ever met/worked with one guy who would even be capable of that sort of behavior. I worked with a guy at Camelback who thought the world was corrupt and he was therefore justified in his theft. I have never known a manager to promote the kind of activity you are suggesting, however most of them do push harmless cash generators like AC services and intake cleaning. That sort of thing is harmless to your car, but not so much to your wallet. Indies do it too.
Some management will look the other way if a guy like the one I was describing is generating revenue. Let's call him J.
I saw J get fired and rehired 3 times in 2 years. A frequent poster here named saabdoc worked there too. Saabdoc got fired from the same dealer for trying to be honest and not rip off the factory on a dozen ruined trionic ECMs that were destroyed by reverse polarity jump starts at a rental car agency. Saabdoc got fired and J was praised. SAAB kicked back all the ECMs just like saabdoc said they would.
I guess the point I'm trying to make is that I work in a corrupt industry and because I have skills that they need I am able to survive without being corrupt. It is a constant battle. J had trouble diagnosing much of anything, but saabdoc and I were spot on. Management wants to have it both ways, but the crooks are usually in too much of a hurry to actually diagnose things so they need people like me and saabdoc. Being with SAAB makes it that much harder to leave and find an honest shop.
