What perks do you get from your dealer?
Just intersted to see what add-ons / services dealers provide to convince you to buy from them.
I have heard some of the following are used:
Free (1) Oil change a year
Free Car Wash when ever you come for service
Free Loaner Cars
Free Tires!!
etc...

I get my first two service calls completely free and everytime I bring Persephone in for service, they wash her inside and out. That's about it... and I got $500 off the MSRP.

Hello Gochan:
I too go to Concord, CA. Although we do get:
Free Water and some drinks.
Free snacks.
Free Hi-speed internet.
We should make them aware of what some of the other guys are getting and see if they too can provide the other free stuff.
Let me know your thoughts...
Thanks,

Free service through 22,500 miles (includes oil changes and all scheduled services up to that point). They "claim" that regular oil changes are NOT included but the service points on the schedule coincide with the MID (7,500, 15K (Had done early @ 13.5K), 22.5K (Should be about right)). Also got about $600 off the vehicle. Auto/Navi/Blk/ebony in December of '03 (when they were VERY hard to get). Estimate that the service was worth about $300 or so...

Snacks? I don't know how much they are but for sure you have to pay.
Internet probably works with quarters.
As for air, I have not been charged. Yet.

If I could ask for only one thing, greeting me by name would be it. It's the best compliment you can ever receive from a stranger. FWIW, only my salesperson knows me by name and I've been there 5 times this month. 
BTW my dealership perks are:
Free loaners (RSX, TSX, TL, RL)
Shuttle service
Free coffee/soda/juice/water
Free pastries
Cable TV
3 free oil changes with initial purchase of a car. (
compared to the people getting free oil changes for life.)

Free loaner car if mine's going to be in the shop more than two hours. Free seasonal air change on all four tires plus an air change in the spare. Nice!
