These people aren't your friends. After your warranty period, the dealer is almost always the worst place to get your car serviced. Not worth building a 'relationship' with. Trust me, the relationship is one sided.

Not true, the friendship you make with them may not be the "hanging out on the weekend" kind but they will look out for you more so then someone they dislike. As far as profit goes $2500 isn't really that much profit for a dealership, they aren't a grocery store that sells stuff everyday to many customers. For a $25,000 vehicle $2500 is only a 10% profit, most grocery stores mark up products more than 10% above what they pay.
