This has really nothing to do with anything, but It is cheaper!! for me to get a full service(they even grease the boom) done on a Concrete pump(Lube,oil,all filters) then it is to get a service done on a deisel pickup at the dealer ship. Is it just me or does that not seem right...

That is crazy! What is it somewhere around $75 and hour to go to a dealership to get a service?

Auto manufacturers still lose billions, Dealerships build bigger and shinier. Hmmm Maybe Dealerships should manage auto industry's books....
