One from the other side

I used to work with a guy at a now defunct dealer who had real contempt for SAAB customers. He is no longer in the buisness. He used to say things like,"if they are stupid enough to buy a SAAB then they have to bring it to me and I can charge whatever I want". He had a lot of tricks for generating extra revenue. The worst of which was his transmission trick. When a car came in with a transmission problem he would first sell cleaning the governor for 3.4 hours. Then he would pull the car out,wait half a day and report back that cleaning the governor did not help and the transmission would have to be replaced. When I found out about it I complained to management and as far as I know it stopped.
