Special treatment? Dont mind if i do!
 
On my way to register my car (blue slip > RTA) i decided to pop in to my local toyota (i bought the car interstate) to book in a 1,000km service. When i got there they immediately put my car through, where there were other cars to be serviced that morning. i didnt ask for it - they just immediately did it. it was ready in an hour and came back washed ;)

anyone else noticed special treatment?

also... while waiting for the car to be ready a rep comes over, offers me coffee. i asked him why it takes an hour to do a new service as it was only checks and he says its because its probably being cleaned for me. Then he started telling me about this new toyota coupe, the 86. i agreed with his compliments, 'totally awesome car - mines the one u guys are servicing right now'.

man... i swear this car, even stock is such an attention magnet!

umm why would you book in a 1,000 km service? i'm guessing they were so nice to you based on the assumption you were going to be coming back every 1,000 kms :lol:

There's a complimentary checkup at 1000kms

yes if it was a paid 1,000 service they shouldve laid out a red carpet for me! lol

That is special treatment, even if the 1k 'service' is just a check up.
I wouldn't let them wash it though, I'm too paranoid of scratches!

I was told to bring it back after a month. Last night mine reached 1600 km in a week. I am keeping an eye on oil and water etc.
I would hope a dealership has some idea how to wash a new car.

I never got coffee or having the car washed guess i ain't that speical enoguh lol - but then again i just went home as i live across the road and picked it up when it was ready...

I don't think the dealers would do a good job anyways at washing the cars - just bring it to them in pristine condition and they wont bother washing if they were obliged to haha :D
