Dealer: It's time for car maintenance!
Dealer: Give us money and we'll maintain your car.
Dealer: Is your car about to explode?
Dealer: Maintenance. Isn't it about that time?

Tire: *blows out*
@htdrake: *repairs tire with high tech sealant compressor kit* *drives home*

Dealer: Sure, we can see you this afternoon.
Me: Great! *drives 15 miles to dealership on patched tire*
D: Hm, you'll want to replace all four, but there isn't time before we close. How far away do you live?
M: 15 minutes.
D: Ooh, that's outside of our courtesy shuttle range.

Me: Why didn't you tell me on the phone that there wouldn't be time?
Dealer: We didn't know we'd be replacing all four tires.
M: *sighs* *drives 15 miles home on patched tire*
