It seems that if dealerships *really* make only a few hundred on the sale of a new car, then the place to make that up would be in the service department.
I have seen the "book rates" for auto maintenance, and in many cases a good mechanic can do the job in half the time. Not only that, dealer prices on parts are also double. That makes the profit on the sale of a new car pale by comparison.
