This is systematic to the whole dealership maximize your profits model.I can't think of another industry where lying, deception, and incompetence are so systemic. I appreciate a guy's gotta feed his family, but it shouldn't require this. I can see why you would want out.
They bring in the GM and Sales managers who only care about profit. Nothing else matters besides sales. Service is just something they must have to be able to sell cars. The huge multiple franchise car dealership groups are the worst for this. Qualified techs aren't important, keep costs low by paying as little as you can to those in service.
I sold cars for 3 months for one of the largest of these groups. What I witnessed in some cases was absolutely criminal. I moved on to another job. My conscience wouldn't allow me to continue doing that job.
I could start a whole separate thread on all the criminal activities associated with these dealers, but it would probably get me removed from the forum. Let's just say the only one worried about your bottom line at the dealership is you. There may be one or two new people who care, but they quickly fall in line, or they move on and find a job that allows them to sleep at night.
