I have been down this road so many times... one of the best was a service tech told me that mercedes designs their coolant system to lose a bit of antifreeze each year so you have to add some so it stays fresh...so when the low coolant light comes on... it's normal, just bring it in and we will add some for free.... That's how I met the service manager for the first time
That is the part that drives me nuts. The stupid lies that the service people tell you. I fixed/rebuilt every car I owned for the first 15 years I was driving. Don’t try to BS me.
My best was when I had my 6 month old BMW X5 in the dealer for the 6th time. I told the tech that it was the worst car I have ever owned. I told him that my 2004 Grand Cherokee was in for service less in 4 years than the X5 had been in in the 6 months. He sneered at me and huffed and said “Sir, a BMW is a much more complex vehicle than a jeep. You should expect more service on a BMW.” I told him I thought that I should expect more from a $75K BMW, but not more service.
