Mine topped it off with gas, but I feel they topped with the low cheap octane. Car ran much better after I refilled with Shell premium. Or maybe it's in my head...

Most like they disconnected the battery during the service and the ECU just re-learn your driving style.
Maybe it just me but i always ask the dealer not to wash the car and fill up the gas tank as i seen many stories with cars got scratches from dealers' automatic washes.

I was the same. I don't trust their "detailing" tools. Pretty sure they will mar the finish. I opted out.

yeah, i def learned not to ask for the car wash after spending time on the CL Detailing Sub Forums. they even suggest buying/making a rearview hanger card to let the washers know not to wash even if you tell your service advisor. dealership washes will def cause swirls on your car
