    The signs are a must! I have (4) that are laminated. Bright "RED" letters on white 8x11 paper.
    There is vast amounts of knowledge at your fingertips, use Google, Youtube, and the search button.

    This is amazing. One time I told them not to wash my car and they did and I was so pissed.

    Here is a picture of a porsche panamera that has 1000 miles on it. It was given to my dad as a rental car when his car was in for service.

    Insane... someone just brought a brand new Hyundai Veloceter by my place to have a look at some 'marks' on the hood that they noticed after the dealer had 'prepped the car'. It looked like someone was pretty rough when removing the shipping protection that was stuck to the car and left a ton of scratches on the hood... plus the rest of the car was completely swirled out... it had 150 miles on it

    Deja Vu!!!!!

    This happened to me last week. I made a post regarding my experience.

    Took my car in for service....asked them not to wash it....service advisor made the notation on the work order.....and they washed it anyway.

    Not a single panel was spare from the wrath. I wish I had the signs made. This is the sign I will be using going forward.

    Couple 'o years ago, took my truck in for "a recall," service writer went out to get the VIN, came back in and said, "I don't think you would want us to wash it, do you?" Come to find out, they ask each and every customer if they want the wash or not.

    Pretty good if ya ask me...

    Nice. I have seen it with dealerships, body shops. They hack up your paint when they wash. I always warn my family members they never listen then I get a call to swing buy and fix it. They are not super picky but it's some cash that gets put in my pocket. No matter how many times I say you don't have to pay me they do. I always tell them next time call me and have me wash the car. You can go down the street and have chopped up by the car wash or your next service department wash or spend a little more money and have it done the right way.

    that is a good advice, I never thought of that before reading this. the question now is, how many times they will do it as you ask? I hope every time.

    Keep this in my car and hang from the mirror and also advise them "Do Not Wash" to be written in big red letters on the Work Order. Worked so far.

    Wow... they make those?

    How about Autogeeks make some of these and put them as part of free sample list for orders more than $50?

    Such a good idea! My local dealerships have a tendency to forget
