well for the dealer i work on…they are strict about that stuff…beleive me…as far as test drives go the z06’s and all the fast chevys…the two master techs touch them no one else…i got to drive one once but for a quick drive up the street n back to make sure brakes were ok…but that was on transit…to much traffic to be stupid…i wouldnt be stupid anyway… so maybe from what i see my place respects cars as others dont? we detail every car that gets serviced to…
plus u have to expect dealer to be more expensive its OEM…its what exactly came on ur car stock…not aftermarket reman stuff (for stock to stock replacement is what i mean)
and labor is a lot anywhere u go…especially where places are flat rate (dealers)
