Its almost worse. The way dealerships have been done now awhile is the service department pays the bills. Its designed to not make profit but to allow the sales to be almost pure profit. This is a good thing as its the reason the prices are more reasonable than in the past and the service is good. Its pays the bills and acts as sorta an informal advertising, feet in the door type of thing. Its the way it should be. All the same it means that ultimately there will be fewer dealerships as their existence relies on service and the selling part really does not require large amount of stock. Really just need enough to show off the options.
