You will learn that nothing is free. They will convince you that something is wrong with your car and it must be replaced.

Only valid in SoCal ='(

Are there any for SF / Sacramento?
How do I sign up for those monthly updates?
I bought one from a private seller, so I don't know how I'd get them to send me stuff rather than the old owner.

My cousin had a CL600 he took it into service and the car wasn't done when he went so he got pissed and they gave him a free detail. He said they kept the car for 3 more days and after that the car was never the same. ABS light came on, Stereo went bad, cluster would malfunction. Coincidence??

But I have never experienced this (knock on wood) so I can't say anything lol

Thank you! They fix what you complained about... But they break something else so you can come back and spend some more cash! Forget stealerships

These are just promotions to get people that stopped using the dealer for service. Their job is to look over everything and if anything is slightly worn, they will recommend replacement. I went once to one of these, they told me I needed $3,000 at HOI. I took it to an indy and asked if I really needed the work done and he said no. A year or so later I sold it, never did the work and the car was fine. Caveat emptor
