Ironically, I was going to leave a twenty with the note, but I didn't mention it because I thought that you guys would fry me. "Thanks in advance. Let me buy you and a friend's lunch".@rickinAZ
No, I would not leave a note... What I do and suggest you do.
A head of time, DO, meet you Service Manager... introduce yourself
The day of your visit, get there a few minutes early and get your JL, checked in.
Tell the Service Writer you would PLEASE, like to speak to the assigned tech before he touches your vehicle.
I actually sit outside in the parking lot, by my vehicle, waiting for the tech to talk to me.
I have done this for many years... never had one time when the tech did not come to me and talk to me prior to working on my vehicle...
I introduce myself to the tech ... and explain to him/her my thoughts and concerns.. I bond with him so to speak...
I let him/her know that my vehicle means a lot to me and that I am let says anal about IT. Every tech I spoke with always appreciated my lets say love of my vehicle and my knowledge of the vehicle, and my concern for it.. They listened with open ears and told me not to worry, etc... I tell them thanks and could they please talk to me personally after completion of the job.
When they come to me afterwards, I look over the vehicle ... I always give the tech, say a $10-$20.... Actually, usually I slip the guy the $20 at the meet and greet I asked for.. I tell them Thanks and to have lunch on me...
I can tell you that the tech truly appreciates the $ and remembers me and my vehicle and my $ the next time in. He also tells the other Techs... that guy took care of me... appreciates us..
