While I was in college I interned for GM. During their 2 week shut down in the summer, interns are encouraged to work at a dealership. I worked as a service advisor at an Olds dealer nearby. While working there, the service manager told me straight out that when someone comes in for service, the primary goal of an advisor is to get the person into the showroom to look at the new models.
