Default LEXUS of GLENDALE ELITE MEMBERS benefits

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if anyone else bought there car at Lexus of Glendale and got the Elite Members benefits. I'm trying to find all the benefits again online but haven't been able to. Anyone know the exact perks? I think its suppose to be free details on your birthday and free gas on 10k maint?

Thanks

Never buy any vehicle from a dealership that plasters their own emblem on the back of a car. This mares the finish, looks tacky and hick, and is a scam way of getting free advertising for the dealership. Lexus of Glendale should be ashamed of their old-school, cheesy tactics of taking advantage of customers without paying them to advertise for them.

welp, i'm an elite member of lexus of carlsbad as i mentioned, but lexus of carlsbad doesn't plaster their adverts on the rear of the vehicles they sell.

i used to service my 2IS at lexus of glendale and never paid much attention, i suppose, as i didn't notice that the dealership was placing their name on the rear of vehicles. hm. shame.

Free basic car wash every week... I'm actually sitting in the lounge right now, waiting for my car... There's a bunch of Apple computers here, coffee, fresh popcorn, pastries, massage chairs... Yeahhh, not too bad. They vacuum the mats too and wipe down the dashboard. And yes, for your birthday, free detailed car wash!!!!

I don't mind that they plaster "Lexus of Glendale" on the back of my car... The Glendale part is really small...

Nearly all Lexus dealers do what Glendale does. Or ask for it and you'll get it if you are on good terms with your S.A.. Only difference is Glendale advertises it. Gluing on dealer advertising hinders resale to the picky and the collector. It's an old-school advertising scam quickly becoming passe.

First thing I did is debadged the car and changed the license plate frame. I hate seeing those dealers that have those tacky metalic emblems in the Lexus font or any other car maker font with their dealer name on it. But each to his own I guess...

i rarely see a 'lexus of_____' emblem on lexus cars in california. so, if nearly every dealer, as may be true -- ostensibly, anyhow -- engages in the practice, then nearly all very seldom engage in doing so.

Oops, you may have misread or I may have not clarified. Nearly every dealer does what Lexus of Glendale does, but referring to offering perks. The tacky added emblem is exclusive to Lexus of Glendale.

No need to this as far as I am concerned. No matter who I buy a car from, I ask them to remove all stickers and license plate holders. If someone wants to know who I purchased from, I can tell them. I get nothing from riding around with their name plastered anywhere they decide to put it.

Also some of the perks mentioned are nothing you don't get from Lexus with out being considered an Elite member. I think Lexus considers all buyers elite. You can get your car washed at anytime. If you chose to have them wash it all. Many use machines which put the whammy on your paint job!
