Also, with this dealership, if I use their shop for all scheduled
maintenance, they'll give me free tires for life and warranty the engine
for 300K miles.

Jacksonville, FL. The dealership is some 35 miles south, in St.
Augustine, but I bought my Prius there rather than one of the five
closer dealerships (including one just two miles away), partly because
of the service dept. incentives, but mostly because their waiting list
was just over two months at a time when everyone else around here was
six months to over a year.

But wait - there's more! They also provide a free loaner car when
you're having major service done, and that includes the larger scheduled
maintenances such as 30K.
Oh, and they threw in a set of ginso knives because I ordered before
midnight.
Okay, I'm kidding about that last one.
