It is, and a service tech can come in and correct me if I'm wrong. But the way I understand it GM pays about 1/3 of what the dealership would normally charge for service work. So if the dealership has to choose between servicing your car at 1/3 the income and another car at full price it makes business sense to service the car at full price.
Of course this assumes that the dealers service department is always 100% booked up, getting 1/3 your normal price is still better than nothing.
