Maybe. But, I think it's more likely that the downstream revenue from car sales has changed dramatically, and they need to find clever ways to fix that. Historically, cars needed a ton of work and maintenance and dealers got significant revenue from their mechanic's shops. Now cars are far more reliable, go far longer between standard service calls and oil changes, and there's just far less money being spent at the dealer after you drive away with your initial purchase.
