What to request of the dealer? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

computertech01 · 07-09-2012, 08:16 PM

I know my brz is going to be coming in next month and I want to let my dealer know the list of do's and don'ts in a polite way. I want to make sure I get this right.

No Stickers
No drilling bumper
No details/wash
No test drive

Am I missing anything and if anyone has an actual email they sent to the dealer that would even be more awesome!

The only thing I requested was no front license plate bracket, and I just called the sales guy I worked with and said "Hey, quick request. Don't put the front plate on, thanks." and that was it. :P

I have asked for keychains, brochures, hell anything that the dealer can give me

It is actually part of the PDI to ask the "owner" if they want the front plate bracket installed.

The rest is up to the respective dealer and will generally be out of the control of the Salesman.

We are easy to work with given these requests. Because the following would be the Salesman's responsibility:
Stickers/Badges
Drilling the bumper - Unless car came from another store.
Detail/Wash

If you have very specifc requests, I would reccomend to contact the Salesman, Sales Manager and possibly the Inventory/Porter Manager.

Ok, I've seen this else where.... why "no" to detail/wash?

The quality isn't really high in their details. I have alot of money invested in cleaning materials for this car and the dealers wax is usually a pain to get off.

My cousin used to work for the detailing department at Lexus. I've been told of the horror stories and how little they care about the cars that they clean. The equipment they use and the way they do the job is horrendous. Some guys would wear watches and jewelry which scratch up the car more than they can fix. Some times they would use week old dirty equipment that have not been cleaned properly. I specifically asked for no detailing on my order.
