The whole stack is shit. Most of it probably is due to government (EPA especially) per usual. I've heard that some dealerships make more from service though. Maybe it's location dependent? I'm sure most make the bulk of their money on financial products than anything else (including the actual car sale).

I wouldn't call $3000 in work small, but maybe it is.

It's all one big fucking sham. I don't think much will change. It's entirely ridiculous how the industry operates.

Yeah unless you're making parts (and that's a whole other thing) you're operating on single digit margins. 2022 saw the most vertical integration i've seen in parts, distributors were buying up mfgs, then buying up software/eCommerce production companies to sell directly. If you want parts and it's not from CarID, RockAuto, Summit, Jeggs, or XDP, chances are it's now owned by one of a hanful of parts distributors wholly or in part.
