just oil change right?
If it's just that, do it yourself, and they'll pay you for it. That way you know you did it right, they're happy b/c they don't have to pay their tech for an hour's worth of work.

Which dealership? Telegraph or Gratiot? Keep us up to date on this.

Hopefully all I've been reading about this won't happen tomorrow 
I just hope the porter kid that puts the cars on the bays wont beat the crap out of my car. Wish me luck.

money pit,
Thanks for the post. I have my first service in a couple weeks. I think I will have around 2600 miles on the car. My biggest fear is the tire rotation, I am worried about damage to the wheels. Also I think I will buy a torque wrench to make sure they dont get the lugs on too tight.

I had the tires rotated, balanced and road matched at discount tire, and they did a great job! They seemed really professional, treated my wheels and tires very gentle and let me watch while they were doing all of this...I guess if you are cool to them it increases your service level most of the time, but you always have a lazy or careless individual who fu@#! everything up.
