It's refreshing to read that for once, the folks at a car dealership were those ones who had to pay up. We come across too many stories on the Internet of folks getting cheated and tricked and having to pay the price, but this Redditor cleverly circumnavigated the system in order to get what they deserved.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/Ko-Riel, who explained that they purchased a car with three years of maintenance included. When it came time for the car to be serviced, OP told the folks at the car dealership to "do whatever [they] need to do." Naturally, these guys saw an opportunity to do way too much and to charge even more for all of the work. However, they were not made aware of the maintenance stipulation, so when OP came to pick up their car, these guys were forced to foot the bill.
