I serously suggest you report this to the Federal Trade Commission. The dealer that sent you that flyer is treading in dangerous territory with respect to the Moss-Magnuson Warranty Act's "Tie-In Sales" Provisions (Section 102 (c) of the Act). Generally, tie-in sales provisions are not allowed. Such a provision would require a purchaser of a warranted product to buy an item or service from a particular company to use with the warranted product in order to be eligible to receive a remedy under the warranty.

16 C.F.R. § 700.10 Section 102(c).

"(a) Section 102(c) prohibits tying arrangements that condition coverage under a written warranty on the consumer's use of an article or service identified by brand, trade, or corporate name unless that article or service is provided without charge to the consumer.
...
(c) No warrantor may condition the continued validity of a warranty on the use of only authorized repair service and/or authorized replacement parts for non-warranty service and maintenance..."

I hate stealerships... Don't let them get away with that. Who knows how many people they rip off with those kind of scare tactics.

I bought my car from Passport. Have done my own oil changes and only 12K miles so far so haven't taken it for service, except for when I had the rear spoiler installed (was back-ordered when I bought the car so had that a month later).

I occasionally get emails saying I am due for service. The last one I got, in May, said I was due for the 33,750 mile service! LOL -- I bought the car the previous November; they seem to think I am on pace to drive 67K miles a year!
