When I took my car in for it's first oil change for free at the dealership the service guy told me my tires were down to 2-3mm of tread and needed to be replaced. All while standing in front of my car. I looked at the tire and said "replace after only 5k miles?" and he said "yep, they're bald, it's a sports car after all" while looking at the tire. Baffled, I wasn't sure how to proceed at that point so I just stood there until he offered to measure it in front of me. Turns out all four were at 9mm. The tech's tool had the plastic tip broken off and he didn't have the sense to realize how far off his measurements were. He showed me the broken tool so I wouldn't think he was trying to scam me into a new set of tires. I politely told him that I would be taking my car elsewhere for all service/warranty work.
