Do any dealers out there clean your cars after they have done work/servicing on them?

I have been to 2 different Subaru dealers now and my car has been returned to me as i left it

I dont mind that it's like that but i just think it's nice if it's clean for you on collection

i was always pi55ed off with anyone giving my car a stema/jet wash as it not only striped the wax off but left nasty smears when it dried [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Mark, you let them drive it !

I will never let a garage test drive my cars unless I am present. Too many boy racer mechanics who love to have a bit of fun when they have got something special in (know too many ex-mechs with stories to tell).

As to washing, do you really want the work experience lad with a sponge full of grit to wash you car ?

I had my 10k done at SGT whilst I waited and it came back hoovered and cleaned. No test drive either ?

Fed coffee as well (me not the car)

Not the most economic dealer I've ever met but always comes out clean.

I always take mine in gleaming!

I have the line of thinking that if they see its looked after, then there just may be a chance they do they same!!
Daft I know, but I can but try!!

Took mine to Quenby's (Baldock) last week and it came back as dirty as I left it. Shame, I used to get a full clean from North Herts Citroen on my Saxo!!!
