At the dealer...

[c8n]

Right now I am at the dealer getting my scheduled service and I can hear the roar of the rotary.... got shivers down my spine. Altho my work order has no detail in it I had to run back to my service advisor to remind them NOT to wash my car.

What gives you the impression that this rotary had any connection to your vehicle? You heard something but couldn't place the scene of any due wrong?

Last time i had to tell my service guy twice to remind the guy not to do a wash. After getting my car back 2 days later the car was indeed washed

You need to tell them to put a paper on the window that said "No Wash"

I never said it did... in fact i stated it did not.

But it sure reminded you in a hurry the potential damage those hacks at the "stealership" can inflict on your paint

The idea of the paper on the window is a good one. I normally tape a note to the steering wheel (myself), and I explicitly tell them that they will be responsible for any damage to the truck if they do indeed wash it without consent. I do that holding the keys towards the service manager (not the car runner), and being 6'6" I do get their attention, as they are normally reaching for my keys above their heads

I hang my own signs from the rear view, the shifter, and place one on the dash AND remind the adviser to NOT wash my vehicles. It has worked so far, but I still get a knot in the pit of my stomach whenever I have to take any of them in for anything.

I leave this in my car so that I can put it on my dash any time my car is being serviced. I also remind them, just to be safe.

The service manager remembers me as "the guy who won't let us wash his car"... which is OK with me.

This Monster ate my Denali two weeks ago...even though the Service Advisor wrote a huge note on the Ticket and highlighted it in Yellow

I highly suggest printing up a sign and placing it on the driver's side window.

It is amazing what one of these machines can do...especially when the vehicle is left to dry in the sun and then a filthy towel is run across it a few times.

Took me 4 hours to correct

They also made my tires look like a Rap Video

The picture of the windshield gives you an idea of just how poorly the vehicle was treated.

The kids in Nuevo Laredo do a better job with two rags and a coffee can full of water!

Right now I am at the dealer getting my scheduled service

-I can comprehend taking a vehicle to a dealership for recall/warranty-service...

-But not for: "scheduled-service".

[The latter example would also eliminate any chances of having unwanted car washes
performed on vehicles by a dealership (or dealership-contracted) employees.]
