What they say about car dealerships making most of their money off of maintenance must be true. Express services are getting faster and waiting rooms are getting more pleasant to be in.
I got the oil changed in my new car for the first time today.
The dealership had the same time and the same wait as a Jiffy Lube.
They also had a variety of flavored coffees, free, and a variety of flavored tea.
Both were from a brand called "Bright" and "Flavia". The tea came in small foil packages with a tiny plastic nozzle on the top. To get tea you put the pouch into a special slot in the proprietary machine. In return it poured the tea sans the leaves into a cup.
The tea came out as a solid green color and stayed that way.
The taste had a gritty taste to it despite no leaves being in the water.
Green tea from a styrofoam cup is not the best taste, but its availability at all in a dealership's maintenance waiting area was a pleasant surprise on a very cold day.

Re: Bright Flavia Tea While Getting My Oil Changed
I have seen these in dealerships but never had the "courage" to try one.
