Is a car wash included in the Dealership service?

HI, I had my first service at the dealership and didn't get the car washed.

Is that normal? I paid £144 for the first service

I would expect it and indeed did get one.

I didn't get one when I took mine in for its first service

Lucky escape, washed by a young apprentice with a scouring pad.

Best to avoid having the car washed.

Mine got a valet in and out for the first service and cast £110.

Many cars ago, my VW was super cleaned every single time I took it in - even if it was just to briefly look into a problematic switch. It was a good thing, and I do miss it. (though I don't miss paying £8 for washer liquid top up - even when it was already full - and that was 15 years ago!)

As time passed, and my cars changed, the level of service dropped: My Mazda was cleaned, but not very well. My Nissan was sometimes vaguely cleaned. And the MG is simply untouched.

If it helps keep the cost down, I'd prefer to not have it cleaned - my first service cost £85.

85! Where was that?

Brighton MG back in June.

They are now part time of Lookers so may have bumped up their prices. Or maybe not. (I’ll find out next year)
