Dealership Free Oil Change
How many of you actually take the dealers up on this?

Agreed.
My selling dealer was smart enough to not even put the plate bracket on. He knew no one wants to drill into the front of the Camaro to hang a plate on there.

My dealer must be one of the good ones. Nice no touch/ no drill front plate holder installed....really nice one.
Not doing the free oil change though, I like doing it myself.

The free oil changes I did take advantage of but, I buy the oil I want to put in my pony and once the tech's left it in the trunk, just forgot about? So, I just bought Steeda ultralite jacking rails, a low profile jack & 2 jack stands. Now I change my own oil. I have a good dealer, Ben Keating, IMSA racer owns Port Lavaca Auto Group & many other car lots.

Been to two different dealers, when I bought my ZL1's. Neither one of them had any idea that you needed to lift camaro's in a certain manner. I told them about the pinch weld area's to lift from only. Its shocking that they didnt know about this. I stood there and watched them change my oil, and it made me very nervous.
With my latest ZL1, not sure I will take it in, just scares me too much. I dont know what your recourse would be if they damaged the car.

When they try to push those I just say that they have no value to me as the only time they'll see that car again is when it's catastrophic and on a flat bed. I do my own basic maintenance but not every one has that luxury of space to do so. And, too, knowing it's the lowest grade monkey that does lube jobs I don't want them under the hood.

Yup, they do my oil changes! I don't have a lift and don't enjoy going under the car. They also do a Dexos full synthetic for like 60$ lol can't come close to buying 11 qts for that!
