Most quick-lube places are like that now.  The one I take my Honda to tried
to sell me two different kinds of oil flush and a fuel system treatment,
last time I was there.  I never buy any of that crap, especially not the oil
flushes.  (If there's crud sitting in obscure corners of the engine, the
*last* thing I want to do is get it circulating around!)
I don't let them touch my Vanagon, but I do wonder what they'd think- when I
bring my Honda in they always make a big deal out of tsk-tsking about how
dark the oil is, and try to sell me the oil flush.  They'd probably have a
heart attack over the nearly opaque black oil that comes out of the diesel.

Like Hairdressers, always got a product to endorse or retail - they are
under the cosh to shift XXX units per week!
I always look around the workshop etc (& around back) to see what my money
will be paying for!)
