    If that was within their two free years of servicing deal I would say it is most likely a good thing. Sounds like someone who loves their truck enough to pass on free oil changes and tire rotations to avoid shoddy dealer work.

    Or it is someone so negligent that they didn't even realize they had free oil changes in the first place, in which case it is likely awfully maintained.

    Either way talk to the guy/gal about the maintenance and if they say they took it to the dealer for service run away because they are lying.
