Ishkabible, I totally understand what you are saying and would 100% agree if you brought you car to a service station and they charged you to put air in the tires (remember when air was free?). It's usually a different story at a dealership. A gas station makes money on the gas they sell but the only real profit center for a dealer ship is the service department. Cars are often sold at 100.00 profit or break even. And, they didn't just fill your tires, they figured out what the problem was. While it does seem like an excessive amount to charge, it was probably done on a pro-rated hourly charge. I'm not saying you are wrong, just saying that there may be another point of view.
