Being Gratuitous

As a young, first-time owner of a Mercedes
I'm not too sure when to give gratuity, though i am a gratuitous fellow.

I just recently took my car in for service (my first one being) and i was pretty taken aback in regards to such quality service\atmosphere.

Do you ever tip your service advisor?

If you get a ride home from the dealership, do you tip the driver?

I don't tip the driver, yet the driver is always very nice to me and everytime he picks me up we talk about girls and parties and cars lol.

I have tipped my service advisor in the past but it was only because he covered work on my car that should have been voided.

I don't tip the service advisor. I've never been in the courtesy car, so I'm not sure. That one's up to you, because it's kind of like a cab ride. I do tip the guy who washes my car though.
