You are fortunate. Many people get sold a lot of unnecessary work
than is mainly needed to enhance the dealer's profits.

Not to bash dealerships, the big chains and some independents are just
as bad.

That's exactly why Searz lost their automotive department. They got
caught in an extremely large sting and found that it wasn't just a few
centers doing it. It was company-wide.

Sears in Houston still has an operating automotive department and shop.
They repaired a flat for me recently.

Yes, but you do realize that Sears (S) went bankrupt, and after (the
lawyers) divested their common shareholders of anything of value
re-emerged and merged with the Kmart Holding Company in 2005 as the
Sears Holding Company. There's a shining example of "capitalism" in the
21st century for you! sacrasm intended

I am aware of that but the sign still says Sears and the shop never closed.
