We always treated it as a customer for p and l purposes. The only difference was we set an internal labor and parts rate at lower margins. This makes sales, rentals etc look at the cost involved when they "request" work as well as keeps the department doing the work from appearing unproductive on paper. It is simply money from one pocket to another but to manage the dealership properly it must be done.
