[quote=AN][quote=flu]Note to self… If ER needs car repair, offer to do it for him because what he expects should cost him money is normally free under warranty 🙂

ER, someone need to reset expectations for you, so I’ll go ahead and do it…

If you spend more than $60k+ for a new car, you shouldn’t have to pay anything more for things like this. It’s not specific to Tesla. It applies to just about any other car out there…Spending close to a $100k or over, you should expect concierge service….Except maybe BMW, in which case your mileage may vary depending on what stealership you go to…

Also,…For future reference…Best way to avoid this sort of thing in the future is simple. Buy your wife a matching car….[/quote]
Totally agree. Both Infiniti and Acura gives loaners for services taking longer than 1 hr. Huyndai takes service to the next level and actually come to you with an Equus and pick up your Equus for service. So you NEVER have to step foot into a service waiting room. AFAIK, all luxury brands also wash and vacum your car when you bring it in for service, even if it’s for a $20 oil change. BMW, I think even replace your tires for free too, not to mention all other services needed w/in 40k miles.[/quote]

I wish BMW 4/50 bumper to bumper/maintainence covers tires… But no they don’t, if it’s normal wear. They will replace everything else but tires (including rotors and pads)… Runflats are pretty expensive proposition..

As far as the free car wash, There are a few dealers that will wash your car anytime you want even if you aren’t having service done. Fletcher Jones in L.A. was one, and I think there are a few down here if they are close to you. But I would only take the dealer up on that IF the car isn’t a dark color (black, dark blue, charcoal,etc). A lot of times, those free car washes are pretty skimpy and if you have a dark color car…well… welcome to swirl mark city…. I regret having a black and dark blue car. Looks great new. Terrible to maintain if you care…
