Is it required/necessary to tip the people at dealer car wash?
Before you all saying I should wash the car by myself, yes I know I took it in to wash by the dealer...but I'll do the waxing and other stuff later...
Is it necessary to tip the guys there after free car wash from dealer? I'm in Texas..
If so, how much?
The reason being the guy was giving me a mouth full saying thank you for coming in etc...(feeling he wanted a tip) I was in a rush so I didn't tip and left...
Maybe I should of tip?

Yeah, you don't see them at my dealership either. I would say yes because it would be a nice thing to do especially considering that the servicing is free and the car wash is complimentary.

if you are bothered, you really should bring this to the general manager's attention as it isn't standard, as far as i know, to have said service people visible to you at lexus dealerships let alone have them present the car in lieu of the service consultant. i mean, it might be to your benefit to mention that neighboring/regional dealerships have service consultants present the vehicle to their patrons rather than the kids washing the cars. that, and showing the face of the service worker compromises the overall service experience, however horrible that may sound. there are certain general standards that luxury marques should follow, though, in my opinion.

The dealership made at least $5,000 off you invoice or not, if you want to tip find the guy who did it but you can do a better job yourself and not scratch it up in the process.

Proper edicate says that you should tip. I gave the gentlemen $10 when I picked up the car after he washed it and put just the back tag on.

Maybe the guy just overdid it from your personal perspective.

Most of the time, these dealership washes are "ok". Usually come out no better then how you brought it. (most of us take good care of our car).
When I had my 3IS, after they replaced my steering wheel, they washed my car, and once I got the car back, I noticed a shoe print on the rear bumper like someone kicked it.
I was like, wth is that. But didn't really care since I was trading it in for a Q.

If they do a good job, they're nice friendly folks, and an opportunity to tip the person who actually did it presents itself, I would always tip.

If you don't want it scratched, I wouldn't let the dealer wash it. Just my experience.
