i think the best thing to do when you're at the dealership is.... ask for literature on everything.. many of the things can be bought later.. you're in no rush to purchase everything they offer... Simply ask them ... "well can i enroll later and get the same deal?"

If true, then that is a scary catch.

Even if you buy the cheapest tire set from internet site and have the installation job done at any local tire store, I guess it would still cost more than $650 for every 2.5 years ( 12k miles driving per year, 30k miles max on performance tires), that means dealer is giving you back $250 per year.

I guess dealer will suck up more than $250 within 2 oil changes plus recommendations when you follow their schedule.

In addition, what will happen when you have an unrepairable tire even the tire still have good thread on it? Will they prorate it and you pay the difference? And Proration at their sales price? wow...

You might want to find out more in detail.

so how much are all of these services going to cost me? Whats everyone paying..?

I tried to call them and asked but they kept beating around the bush.

I was only able to manage to get the following:
60 for oil change
130 for alignment
750 for tune up (spark plugs, ac, blah blah)

getting free tires and paying for:
valve stems for tpms installed: 60
mounting: 60
balancing (weights): about 20
recommend n2 air: 50
tire tax: 6
= 196? but the guys said he's missing something and gives me 285 + tax?!

wtf?!
