Free oil changes from dealers are often offered on new cars. Getting you in to the dealer more often may benefit them in some ways:
1) Opportunity to upsell other services,
2) Some people (quite a lot, actually) have alien-to-me car buying habits and might be convinced to trade in their new car after only a year or two and buy another new one if you can just get them into the dealer at the right time.
No clue if that’s why they do it, but maybe.
- karaterobot 2y agoFWIW, every time I've had my oil changed at the dealership (dozens of times, but only 3 different dealers, so take it with a grain of salt) it's always been done by the service department, with no interaction from sales at all, and therefore no upselling or discussion about trading.
