Frankly, this is one reason that Tesla and their model appeals to me. Just take the dealership and the slimy sales approach, inventory and the rest out of the game entirely. Seeing the money spent on lawyers and marketing in Texas to oppose them is just further proof that the consumer is on the wrong end of this relationship. Screw dealers.
I'm not saying that an independent shop isn't better than a dealership (quite the opposite). However, most average drivers don't know any better, so especially during the warranty period, will bring their cars to the dealership not independent shops.

There's a reason dealerships still make shit tons of money.
