Hmmm....I don't find that this happens to me, and I can't say I know much of anything about cars. I go to a Honda Dealership (), and I don't feel they take advantage of me. In fact, they replaced my something or other, a $1500 repair, out of warranty, not by much, and called it dealer loyalty. I feel better taking my Honda to a Honda dealer. I don't feel they are so pressured to perform unnecessary repairs. I guess it might be a matter of opinion as to what repairs are necessary, and which are not. Dealerships/car repair places, etc., might always reccommend on the liberal side, so as not to take chances.

I think people tend to take advantage of people that let themselves be taken advantage of!
