Not just the manufactures but also the dealers. I use to do some consulting work for a dealer chain here in Houston. Working on the owners comp once I saw a spreadsheet of the monthly income. 65%-70% of their money comes from parts and service, not car sells. And these weren't small hole-in-the-wall dealerships.
