This.
I would also add:
Likelihood for not changing oil filter at all and lying about it
Losing wheel lock key
Missing panel clips
Had some pre-paid package for our 2016 when we bought it new.
First oil change was a return to dealership to hunt down my wheel lock key they lost.
Second was a 2-hour wait WITH AN APPOINTMENT. Getting home resulted in missing clips for front valance and stripped skid plate bolts.
Third was me doing it myself in my garage. I do 5K oil changes. Oil filter was DIRTY. Like, never-been-changed dirty. I wouldn’t be surprised if they never changed it. Had a previous coworker who worked for a flat rate style dealership and he had a drawer full of brand new oil filters. Asked him. He said “well when you’re under the gun sometimes you have to skip it”… whaaaaa???
