Hey Gary - we may have different terminology from Australia to the US.  I think I know what you're asking, but to clarify, are you asking about:


a. service maintenance sales in the finance department

b. actual services being performed on cars in the service department


If it is b, the answer is yes.  We have seen a slowdown in "Closed Repair Orders" since interest rate hikes and inflation became noticeable in daily lives.  This will be short-lived as America's cars are the oldest they've ever been, and you can't push off broken unless you plan to leave it broken.
