I made a sign when I sent my RX-8 to the body shop. Hung a copy on the head unit and a copy on the driver's door. The idea was such a hit in the other thread that another member modified it (and added a nice official looking Mazda logo).

It's not just independent shops - even the dealership may have a new or ignorant or careless guy who moves your car and floods it for you. I highly recommend the polite sign:

(Special thanks to Go48 for posting a printer-ready version with the logo)

EDIT: BTW - no floods on my part (04 car, 03 build date) however, I'm certain transport monkeys or a dealership flooded the car at least once prior to my buying it even though it had only 120 miles on the odo when I bought it. Flooding due to carelessness is not the same as an inexplicable flood.
