in the evening after closing? I have to drop my car off at the dealer on Tuesday because they are *supposedly* going to fix the immobilizer chips in my keys that are causing the cold start problems in the morning.
I just don't understand why it can't be done with a normal service appointment.

I did ask the service advisor that, and he said that wasn't the reason (more)
he said that they needed it overnight because they had to reprogram the keys and whatever...
Oh well.

usually, it's....
that they didn't finish the work needed to be done that day and need to finish it the next day
or
they didn't get to your car at all and hopefully will get to it in the morning
or
they want to do more testing/diagnostics if the issue warrants it.
Probably in your case, the cold start they want to do in the morning when the car has been sitting overnight.
