Car serviced, finished at 5 dealer would not release car
My service rep called me today at 5 and said my car was just finished for service (since Thursday) but that he would not release the car because he did not want to just have it washed but detailed, and that I could pick it up tomorrow morning. Seems awfully weird...
thoughts?

Maybe he's a nice SA and there is nothing wrong with your car.

Sounds odd to me. Never heard of dealers detailing cars after a service.

I would never ever let the dealer detail my car. When they "wash" the cars they pretty much just rub in the dirt with a towel that has been used to wash the previous car's wheels.
If they actually detail it I would be scared of the damage they would inflict with the orbital. |

Maybe they dinged it and want to detail the car to hide any blemish

I take a photo of the mileage with my phone every time I hand my keys to someone other than my wife.

wow you guys are really paranoid. Even if something happens its a car. Even if they joy ride in the worst case, what do you think 50 extra miles on the clock will do, even if they redlined it and drove it hard? I redline it and drive it hard every single mile-what would it matter?
