ZYNE, very thoughtful and generousof you to want to do so..with that being said, here is my opinion (and yes I KNOW what they say about opinions!) I get a little tired of the tipping thing. I am not a cheapskate by any means and when I go out I tip at least 20% if service was good. BUT...
The "stealership" charges quite a bit more generally than say going to a quick lube place..so YOU have paid for that mini detail in essence. My dealer quoted me over $100.00 and I paid $75.00 to the Quick Lube place (yes I stood and watched them actually doing what they were supposed to after hearing the Jiffy Lube story. LOL) AND quite frankly, when I take my car in to the dealership clean and pick it up with greasy hand prints on it in areas they worked on - which I have!..I expect them to clean it!
I just get tired of EVERYONE expecting a tip nowadays when I pay my hardearned $$ out for some of these services already! Ex: The paper delivery person who sends me the Christmas card with self addressed stamped envelope "in case I want to send a tip" (half the time it isnt delivered when it is supposed to be - and yes I tipped them a few times!) The mail carrier who does the same and screws up my mail delivery EVERY fricken time I do a vacation stop!

I gave the 2 guys who brought my big screen TV up stairs a $30 tipand when I called Sears to tell them what a great job they did carrying a heavy large TV up very narrow, steep stairs. Sears said they were going to fire both of them for accepting a tip. And they were fired despite my pleas.[/align]Guess it would not be the same here?[/align]

Wow you have a great dealership then and that is where I'd be going too!! Mine quoted me something like $100 for the oil change (but I am running syn oil too) Itook mine recentlyto a Mobile quick lube andwas in and out in 15 mins and $75.00 & change and the waiting area is right in front of the bay/vehicle where I can see everything that goes on.
