    Somewhere in the fine print, it says Normal scheduled maint.
    Since "severe" driving conditions are not Normal, that is their way out.

    Lots of managers figured out that trick and a few buddies of mine were fired/written up for it. Luckily I recently changed jobs from a DRP only corporation shop. To a mom and pop type shop only doing high end cars. Way less surveys and no longer part of my bonus/income. So happy F surveys!

    Makes perfect sense. Probably dealer discretion- and how you treat the service writer- that will help them ignore that policy.

    I can’t remember if it’s Toyota or the Chevy I just dumped, but severe was defined as short trips and stop and go traffic. Just about the norm where I live- either a mile or two a day without much warm up, or stop and go city traffic.
