Nice little earner for the dealer.

Is it true that dealers don't profit from the sale but the aftercare?

My mate's Volvo garage wanted £600 for a software update that merely
remapped the ECU to give a smidge extra power. He was dithering so I just
asked him how often he felt it necessary to put his foot to the floor. The
answer, "Never", saved him £600.
