Is it true that you can get a free car wash at the Mercedes dealer anytime you want? Idk if this is true, but I've heard that you can just call the dealer or go to the dealer and ask them for a wash with no questions asked. Like you don't need to do any maintenance work along with it.

Hard to believe, but I know I get one every time I bring my car in regardless of what they need to do on it.

and btw do they use a brushless car wash or no? Cause I hear that they don't spray water on the car first when they put it thru the wash, then they use crappy brushes on the car. I mean I've never seen them wash my car before. I know that they wash my car on site but I never see the actual car wash that they have.

Don't you think this is different from dealership to dealership and hard to answer? Personally I don't know what they do but I like how they clean my car inside and outside. And crappy is def. subjective.

Well I'm just saying what I hear from other people, and I thought like most service centers have the same stuff being used.

MB of SD didn't do an inside cleaning job at all. Hoehn does. So there are the differences already that I have encountered personally. Maybe someone else got it done the right way at MB of SD. Don't know. I never saw any scratches from washing my car. So I must assume they don't have crappy brushes there. But I also wash my car often by myself b/c only you take care of your car than nobody else can simply b/c it's yours. And only you know how much detail you bring into this car wash scenario

Nicely put lol

I'm just wondering if they do give the free car washes to Mercedes owners, I mean if it's only once a week it shouldn't be too much of a hassle for them

And because of dealer car wash I had to replace my side markers because it cracked. It is always better to hand wash the car. I forgot to tell my dealer not to wash it when I took the car in for service.

My dealer hand washes and cleans and vacuums the interior. I would rate their wash as an 8 on a 10 scale. Not bad in my book and its free.
