    I have a deal that I keep the lawns mown, car clean and all the outside stuff dealt with and she keeps the house clean and clothes washed and ironed. There and plenty of jokes about chicks being dish washers but few jokes about blokes being car washes and lawn mowers.

    Happy Days.

    Well, that's illegal. I'd suggest you take her & I'll keep the kids, dog & house.

    You are showing your age there Jim Jones. I suspect that comment would be way over most members' heads.

    I'm with you Brad. I had a few barely noticable swirl marks on the paint and forgot to ask the dealership NOT to wash the car once... Bang... Lots of swirl marks... Most people wouldn't notice them, but I do and that was one wash!

    It's just not the same as taking the time to do it yourself. That said, if I had a light coloured car, I'd probably let them wash it.

    nah I missed it already

    as for dealers washing cars. an unnamed dealer serviced my fiat and kindly washed it. wife drives it, didn't notice for over a month the burn mark above the wheel arch where it had been machine polished.........

    i have the same arrangement.

    i'd rather wash the car myself than the dealership do it.

    Red hot servicing!

    Dealer servicing is always the subject of discussion and it's not limited to VAG group. A work colleague of mine took her pristine 40,000 KM old Corolla for a service last Saturday, this is what she got back.

    Injector clean gone wrong, true story.





    Cheers
