...that dealers try to keep customers away from mechanics so their time on the job is maximized. They make a killing on service, paying the mechanic much less than they're charging you, and every minute talking to you is time they can't bill out. They do usually bill out by the book, or likely the actual time on the job if greater, but they still can't bill anything out while he's talking to a customer.
