I've had my acura serviced at the same dealership for about 3 years now and the service manager has really impressed me.

I have to go in for some warranty work soon.. and i'd love to get him something as a thank you.

Any ideas?

 

I'll go ahead and say it first.. gift card

 

Cash, booze, subscription to Playboy? That should cover 90% of the service managers out there.

 

bottles of alcohol are always nice :wink:

 

I take my service manager at Porsche sushi for him and his office crew. They are always very nice and accomodating.

 

Is straight up cash inappropriate?

Booze is a good idea, but it would suck if he doesn't drink lol.

Gift cards not a bad idea but i'd rather give cash than a gift card.

@ surfer rick

you bring the food to them, or you take them all out for sushi?

 

Yeah don't give cash, that's small kine tacky.

I gave booze to my patient who loaned me his waste dumpster when I was renovating my home. Turns out he's Mormon and doesn't drink.

TDK, I take sushi down to the dealership. If they can take care of my 911 by lunch time after I drop it off in the morning, their efficiency deserves props. It's the gesture they will appreciate, not so much the monetary value.

 

Gift card to your favorite restaurant

 

bottle of grey goose - best gift ever. get a 1 liter, they come in a fancy box already

minimal chance he is mormon, and everyone fucking loves grey goose.

do it

 

the dark knight blueray version

 

Bottle of single malt

 

Nice gesture.

Perhaps a nice, moderately priced writing instrument of some sort.

This has got to be a joke. However, I am jealous of your air freshner.

 

my reservations about food is, what if they don't like it? also, i'm a little paranoid / anxious about eating food that a stranger brought from the outside... especially something like sushi.

dont get me wrong, food was one of my first ideas too, but i dunno... seems too many cons than pros
how come gift cards are OK but cash isn't? is it frowned upon?
does everyone really like grey goose?
lol
which one specifically? i don't drink and im an alcohol noob
thanks! wow good idea... never thought of that.
LOL








also i work at an electronic store... im thinking maybe i can get him a gadget or something too.

 

Gift card FTW.

I'd fill out a 'thank you' card, explaining your appreciation of his service, then contact the service manager (his boss) and have him present the gift card to him.

This way you give him two kudos - from you and recognition from his boss.

 

Donuts. 2 Dozen should be good for everyone.

 

Gift card would be the best way to go.

Cash would be inappropriate, he'd probably think you're trying to get something from him.

 

ugh im a gadget guy at heart and a part of me wants to get him an ipad 2 LOL

 

^i mean...thats a little excessive

 

yea i know i'm an idiot

 

Buy him a round of golf, even if he sucks he'll still enjoy it lol. Plus it's a Porche dealer, aren't they required to play golf or something?

 

Cheap but also thoughtful, my brother burns custom DVD's and CD's as a token of appreciation for techs and service managers who work on his Porsches. Either WAV or MP3.

 

Not always a good idea-The service manager where I go is a recovering alcholic-has been sober for 15 years now. I found out some of interests. I also made homemade cookies for him, advisors and techs. They loved them.

 

So much fail in this post.

 

A big to that. Plenty of people that are particular about their favorite Vodka. Grey Goose is "trendy"....nothing more.

In the words of Trent:
"I'll have a scotch on the rocks, please. Any scotch will do, as long as it's not a blend, of course. single malt, Glen Livet, Glen Galley, perhaps, any glen."

 

everyone has their own taste but as someone who sells liquor ill say that goose is definitely popular and not at all a bad choice, kettle ones not too shabby either. And ciroc is selling really well lately

D:

i understand some people are sobering alcoholics but i always found liquor to be a good gift, if u are still unsure try to get to know some of their hobbies before you decide on a gift, ive given fine cigars as gifts before too and they were very well received

 

I'm surprised you don't get your Veyron service manager handjobs by models in a penthouse in Thailand.

 

 

when he mentioned ipad2 i was actually gonna say at that point you might as well give your service manager a BJ lmao

 

i know a million service managers.

The best thing you can give to any one in auto industry is liquor. Not kidding. Get a small gift set.

straight up cash is not a good idea. Some might take it as insulting and it can get them in trouble. you're better off asking him if he drinks or not. nothing wrong with asking him first.

 

^^ a million eh? That's a lot of booze you peddle.

 

are you dating this guy?

I guess I'm lucky I don't know my Mazda or Acura service managers. Of course many years ago I saw my Ford service advisor so much I almost invited her to our wedding

 

i do the bottle of good booze too.. i once invited a few fellas to come to a hpde event and let them take some cars out.

 

Maybe its just me but Im not getting anybody a gift for doing the job they are supposed to do.

 

Yeah pretty much. Besides, the dealership screws you anyway...

 

lolol
