This post is exactly the same type of 'quality' service that I have come to expect from the CJDR dealers in my area.

I almost stopped using my free jeep wave oil changes because they couldn't do them right. Wrong oil, too much, lose drain plug, didnt swap oil filter. It just became faster, and safer to do it myself.

I wouldn't trust my dealership even if they offer five tire rotation for free, they will likely

(1) fuck up the 5 tire rotation sequence, spare->RR->FR->RL->FL->spare.
(2) fuck up the camera cover
(3) fuck up my third brake light relocation
(4) fuck up my spare tire holder (which is made of plastic BTW nice job Jeep!)
(5) fuck up my nice Gorilla lug nuts by trigger happy air gun
(6) fuck up my nice AEV wheels by carelessly dropping it on the ground because it is heavy with 37.

So many things can be fucked up by an incompetent technician, and unfortunately most techs doing oil change and tire rotations are the new ones.
I disagree! They would loose the camera cover!

Jeep wave covers a 4 tire rotation. What’s the issue? Always something to complain about. Go buy a Bronco.
I have not complained about any tire rotation.

You need to acquire some reading comprehension.

I've had 3 of my Wave Oil Change and Tire Rotations. All three had 5 tires rotated at no additional cost.

it cost them no more than 60 seconds to remove and re install the spare. i would never pay extra for 5 tire over 4 tire rotation. I do it my self though. dont have time for people that dont start a nut by hand and then use a impact. the dealer and America's tire love to just impact the lugs on and call it good. I have replaced 6 studs due to cross threaded lugs breaking the stud off. now they only see my vehicle when i need brand new tires and balancing. and even then i watch like a hawk and make sure they hand do the lugs first.
