There are foolish people that do take older cars to the dealership for "wellness checks". An acquaintance asked for advice on this just the other day as he had taken the car to a dealership for an oil change (first mistake).

None of them were warranted except a minor coolant leak which they were overcharging by a factor of three to repair.
A concept with initial good intentions, preventative health care or preventative maintenance, has been completely corrupted by a unethical system to fool people into spending money on stuff they don't need. They use fear-mongering and the customers ignorance to pressure them. It amazes me that most people still can't see this and take this stuff seriously rather than laugh at these people and walk out.
I've never understood why people see their doctors for this weird thing called a "wellness check." If you are well, why would you go? And these days, even if I don't feel well, I don't go. 😂
I am 83 and we grew up in a time when kids didn't get rushed to the ER for every little thing. The only time I saw a doctor was for a Polio shot and once he came to the house when I had a bad case of measles. When we got cuts or scrapes, it was iodine and a bandaid. We weren't at all poor; rushing to doctors just wasn't done.
I only saw a doctor once in my life in my childhood: to get some necessary stitches on a cut. It never occurred to my mother to take me or my siblings to the doctor for normal, childhood illnesses. She certainly wouldn’t have taken us to a doctor for a “wellness check”. She knew if we were well or not already.
My daughter does have chronic issues, which I 100% believe are from childhood vaccines. My functional doctor told me to play the game to get the insurance to get blood work done so we could keep an eye on her.
This reminds me of my mom's strategy for a pushy salesperson who wanted her to buy an extended warranty. She told him to that she had every confidence that the product was such good quality, an extended warranty wasn’t necessary. He didn’t know what to say back 😆
The irony of doing a hard sell job on a product only to turn around and claim that the product really is a piece of crap that you can’t expect to last, so you need to pay for an extended warranty!
Walmart checkout cash register prompt: "Would you like to buy an extended warranty on your new flat screen TV?" That would be the TV which will last for ten years of normal use.
Actually they even ask if you want to buy an extended warranty for that mechanical pencil you just bought or that SD card. 🤣 It’s for everything now. $15 toaster? Want a warranty? Um no thanks I’ll just buy another if it breaks 😂

Oh how I miss Common Sense😢

It's like convid. How would you even know you had it without a test?
Yes!!!!!

Right?? 😂😆 My mom was very savvy to use that tactic 😁
Sounds like the vaxx program.
Last shot didn't work, you need to take another.
Yes! THIS ⬆️
