99.9% of us run a staggered setup. Tire rotation isn't necessary and you don't really see any of the benefits from a non-staggered tire setup rotation. If you are having abnormal wear, it just means you should fix the problem at the source and do a proper alignment. Having to unmount/re-mount and risk damaging the wheel just seems a bit overkill. Sorry, but if you spend $100 to unmount, remount & balance, you pretty much just wasted $100 you could have spent on a new set of tires when the time comes to actually need replacing. Doing it this way is the worst way to rotate your tires.

Dealers ask this question because they programmed to read off a list of "recommended" services and want to make money off of you, plain and simple. In other words, they are pretty much idiots who got the job because they have some sort of sales background, not because they are familiar or have any workable knowledge around cars. I guarantee, most of those service reps, with a few exceptions, wouldn't know how to change the oil.
