My dealer has taken steps to avoid such things.  I know most of the mechanics in there, and know all of the service managers.  The owner even recognizes me whenever I come in.  (For some reason he loves my Maxima)

Complain to the owner, and threaten business elsewhere.  Trust me, there's always someone else out there looking to make money, and will usually make more deals than a stealership anyway, expecially if it's a local business.  They rely on repeat business, and word of mouth advertisment. 

Look at my local car stereo.  Mobile FX.  When they started, few knew about them.  They were kind of tucked away on the outskirts of the city.  But those of us who loved their work, and the good deals they gave, started spreading it around.  Heck, I brought in people that bought more stuff than I ever did.  But they recognized that, and gave me some really good deals.  Now, they're so busy, I can barely ever get my vehicles in.  (but they love how I work, I'm in no hurry to get mine back.  So they have all the time they need to get everything just right., perks of having 3 vehicles)
