No, there is a reason they are called stealerships.

A Subaru dealership tried to charge $200 to reset a passenger window like this (literally just pushing the button to roll down the window and back up):

IT consultants are often proud of charging a few thousand to press a button. They say they know which button to press or some such.


This was after they tried to figure out why the battery kept dying (and failed). Which eventually resulted in this.

But they tried to just charge me for it even though I knew how to reset the window and didn’t ask them to. They were thinking I didn’t know how to do it myself, so wouldn’t know any better that they didn’t actually do anything.
