When a dealer offers 10% off maintenance?
 

What does it mean if a dealer tells you they will give you 10% off
maintenance? Will they really give you the discount, or will they
jack up the price by 10% so that it doesn't mean anything?

They're trying to get you in the door because they know chances are good
they will find other stuff that needs fixing.

Most people do nothing to their cars until they get an enticement like the
one you got. And neglect breeds big repair bills.

Yeah I go once a year, for the oil change, and tell them to do
whatever kind of maintenance is necessary. I don't drive much
though... maybe 5-10K miles a year.

He didn't say he told them to perform whatever REPAIRS are necessary, just
maintenance. What he's doing is GOOD.

Re: When a dealer offers 10% off maintenance?
 

I don't agree. Most dealerships go way above and beyond what is in the
"What is needed" schedule.

I would go as far as to agree to everything that IS on the schedule. Even
that is crap sometime. I learned when at 60k on an accord years ago, they
changed the drain plug. There was nothing wrong with it, but it was on the
schedule. This was YEARS ago.
