curious about these "platinum" services

I've said it many times, but I will only go to the dealer for two things, period.
1. Warranty repair (free)
2. For OEM parts, if needed
I will never use the dealer for servicing my car. And, this "special" is a prime example of why. It's an obvious attempt to get you in the service department so they can try to sell you on stuff you don't really need or you could DIY way cheaper. If you aren't comfortable with DIY, just find a local mechanic that operates on his reputation, not on marketing gimmicks.

Especially if they break a plug then tell you "Oh, we're REALLY sorry, but the "platinum service" doesn't include replacement parts or additional labor costs involved with the part we broke!"
