Actually, from what I've read, dealerships don't make a lot of money from selling new cars. The big money-maker is their service department. Most buy the cheapest oil, in barrels, so that they can to help increase profit. (None of the bottled Toyota Motor Oil for you!) I wouldn't even be surprised if the dealerships didn't use Toyota radiator coolant or Toyota ATF fluid in order to save money. There's a reason we aren't allowed in the bay where they are working on cars. (Remember, many years ago, when they'd have big windows where you could actually watch what was going on in the service bays? Not anymore...the only place I've seen that still has that is Discount Tires.)
Many dealerships aren't even in the business of good diagnostics and repair....it's, often, a quick 5-minute check then listing out as many things to replace as possible at, of course, full price for labor and parts.

You still have big windows in the UK dealerships.
Here is my previous car being “undressed” to fit the tow bar assembly. Lol.
