I doubt that very much. Fanciest machine in a stealership is probably the wheel alignment machine, and a top-of-the-line Hunter will set you back about $35k. The typical two-post lift that's in every bay is like $3000. The various dealer service tools (several-generation-old toughbooks with a 500% markup) are also in that ballpark. Then you've got various flush and fill machines, refrigerant recovery and vacuum, etc, in the $1-2k range each. And then there's a whole menagerie of special little jigs and thingamabobs that're probably each in the $20-200 range, but which save a lot of scraped knuckles and swearing and such. If you head to a performance tuning shop, you might find a 4-wheel chassis dyno worth about $50k or maybe more, but dealerships don't have those.
