the title has a nice ring to it, but anyways, does anyone have experience having the dealership detail their car?

Mine is offering a huge discount for their detail service and I'm wondering if I should take advantage of it.

 

I would advise against it. I personally detail all of the cars in my family and have never let any be touched by a dealer. In my experience, most dealerships will not properly detail your vehicle. In most cases the vehicle will come back with swirls/scratches/holograms that were not there before.

If you are still considering getting it done, take a close look at the vehicles on the lot that they have details and gage your decision based on that.

 

well my problem is that I don't have the time to actually detail my car myself. I wish I did but that is just not possible right now

So I'm kinda just looking around to see which shop or even dealer in this case would do the best job.

 

i would be against it as well. since you are in socal, hit up cu2mike he is a pretty good detailer.

 

I've come to determine that our dealer is only capable of a good wash after a service trip. I won't let them "detail" the car, at all.

 

The only thing I'd let a dealer do is vacuum my car. There are other detail places I'd go before I went to the dealer.

 

hmm looks like he is mobile but he is at least 2 hours away from me. that sucks.

I'll just have to find someone more local to me

 

It depends on the dealership. I probably wouldn't do it either. I'm working at a dealership now and have worked at a few others and there's only 1 guy at one of them that i let detail my car. And that's because he was the cousin of my painter and he worked at Ferrari and does a hell of a job. So if you don't have a inside track to how good they are I'd advise against it.
