Free Car wash with an oil change

Does everyone get a free wash when they get their oil changed at the dealers? That's twice now for me.

I believe they just send it off to the local gas station car wash.

Some dealers send the car to the local car wash. Other times they get their lacky to scrub the car down with a rag.

If you value your paint, you'll find out how they wash their cars. If they're using the lacky, then you better ask them not to wash it! lol

Ya I always ask my dealership not to wash it. The guy in the back stuck doing it most likely doesn't care about your car as much as you do.

yup -- everytime they ask i refuse.... just because they wouldnt give it 1% of the care I would.

One time I brought my car in for some work - JUST fresh zaino'd clean so clean you could eat off it. The service bay is a glassed in area and they lady could obviously see my car - she had the ***** to ask me if I wanted it washed. WTF FOR!?!?
