A dealer's pre-delivery service fee is a charge for preparing a vehicle for sale, covering services like cleaning, inspecting, and performing minor maintenance, but it can also be a way for dealers to increase their profit margin and should be questioned, as some of the services are arguably just part of normal business operations.
