Just thought I would point something out for you all.

Did you know Lexus dealers give free car washes, unlimited, for Lexus cars?

Is it just my dealer, or do others do this as well?

Best part is, it's 20 seconds from my work, I'll be rollin through it everyday.

I wash my car 95% of the time but when I am really lazy 5% of the time, I take it to the dealer for a free wash.

They offer the services here but I think it is only if you get work done on it. I dont think there is any specified amount either. I always wash mine by hand and assure i start at the top and work down, wheels are last. I just dont trust any machine or individual washing my beauty queen.

Be careful going that often, they might deny it, and then start denying for everyone else local...

What really? So you have to get service done in order to get a free wash or do you just have to have a Lexus?

You can get one here for free but you have to wait in line.

Known this for the longest time, although they recently limited it to cars being serviced to weed out people like us.

Not to mention, Swirl City!

Yeah, swirls are the main reason I don't like to let the dealership wash my car. One time they washed my SC300 and they broke off my front emblem. Washing by hand is the only way to go.

I remember reading someone posting about this, but they said to never accept their free washes for some reason.
I think it's because of the swirls the wash leaves, who knows.
