    no! it's corporate that takes the loss, not the retailer! retailers
    get great margins - how else do you think they pay for that
    high-visibility acreage? and sales commissions to the person you meet
    when you walk in the door? and hugely expensive advertising that keeps
    your local newspapers afloat?

    Depends on the dealer, but I'm sure they will make it up someway.

    I tell the shop what I want, if they find something else I discuss it.
    About 6 years ago I was told my auto transmission cooling tubes needed
    replacement as they were seeping.
    A year later I asked a different dealer to check same and get back to
    me; they advised me the clamps just needed tightening.

    If you loosen them, they might seep.

    Just sayin'.

    Out of curiosity, how old was the car with how many miles?

    It means that you will still be overpaying.

    Which means you still paid 30% more than you had to.

    Oh yeah! <rolls eyes>

    My Stealer changed my brake pads twice in the first 30K $250 each time.

    Because they "had to".
