Driver8 is on a distinguished road
I've tipped the service manager and the tech who worked on my car. I never tip more than a $20 spot, but being a bartender in a former life, I know that a small token goes a long way when I need something - a nicer loaner car, for example. The writer at my preferred dealer always gets me into the nicest ride available in the loaner group, usually a new X5. Tips are a hot button for a lot of people. A lot of folks believe that people shouldn't get tips for doing their job. I like to think of it as a reward for rising above and beyond "the average." I'm not rich, but tipping, where appropriate (and NEVER every time), is a good way to get people to consider going the extra mile for you and treating you the way you want to be treated, IMHO.
