I already answered this in the Request a deal.
Its a great deal.
Don't expect a luxurious service lounge with capuccino and plasma tv's.
this is a budget price for budget service.
Its a great way for small garages to bring in new customers.
I find the service much more personal than at Canadian Tire or dealerships.

How can they possibly make money? $9.99 wouldn't cover the material costs. Unless they do it purely to advertise.

It is purely advertising. Its a loss leader.
Its gets your car on the hoist, and maybe they find other things wrong.
Or maybe you just get to know a local mechanic and you like dealing with them.
The best service in the world, will always be at a local small business.

Call to ask.

If they find stuff thats wrong, you don't have to fix it.
Unless its a safety issue. If you refuse to fix a safety item,
well, you're not doing yourself any favours.
