Dealer car wash?

But I do keep my interior clean though. I hate those white marks left by my passengers and shoes scuffs on the door sills. Dealer porters always manage to scratch those plastic pieces. That's one of the reasons I don't let anyone drive my car unless I really have to.

Park Place in Plano was the largest Lexus dealership in the U.S. as of a month ago, and is still the largest in the state of Texas.

I'm 5min from Park Place Plano Lexus and the just careless, dents, scratches, unable to locate vehicle. I have been driving 20 additional minutes to Sewell off Lemmon. Monday Sewell gave me the poorest wash Ive ever witnessed. A charity wash would have been upgrade! The windows were so cloudy from dirty water used. I allmost didn't care to even tireshine my wheels. Good thing I did and discovered my driver side front wheel was curbed. Its all my fault I should have known better. I am done with Lexus Toyota Motor Company in 15 months!

Better solution is to:
1. Stop letting them wash your car. I stopped letting dealers wash my cars years ago, and the one time I lapsed on that a couple years ago I paid for it.
2. Stop taking your car to the dealer. Find a good independent mechanic who will treat you and your car with respect. You'll save money too.

And yeah letting poor service dictate your relationship with car brand is a bit too much IMO. You'll be surprised to find out how many at the service center are actually Lexus employees.

When a dealer calls itself the worlds largest Lexus dealership they could easily mean that they have the largest lots, the largest showroom or who knows what. Jacksonville FL is the largest city in the state of Florida (and maybe the USA because they incorporated the entire county so they have the most square miles, but that isn't what most people think of when they talk about a large city.
I think most people think that the worlds largest Lexus dealer sells the most Lexus cars, don't you?
JM Lexus in Margate FL starts out their commercials and their website with this statement: Welcome to JM Lexus, the world's highest-volume Lexus dealership since 1992. Maybe they mean that when you add up all the cars they have sold in the past 23 years they have sold the most, but I think they claim that they sell the most cars each year since then.
Who knows? Better yet, who cares?

Picked the LS up, they weren't supposed to wash it but did anyways. It survived, but came out dirtier than when it went in LOL. It had just been washed, they have a tunnel wash but they don't dry them, water spots everywhere, had to use the windshield washer just to see.
So if thats the "free wash" I would pass just for that reason alone.

Today they put the tints on my car. Llumar ceramic 15% back, 35% front, Air 90 windshield.
I was waiting in the lounge area to pick the car up, a nice lady comes to me "we're just getting her washed and ...". She didn't get to finish, I jumped from the chair "NO, NO, NO, you're so nice, but thanks no thanks!". Poor soul she had to run in the back to pull the car from the car wash line. She must have thought I'm crazy or something ...

I use to take my car to my local Lexus dealer for washes since that was a perk for customers that bought cars from them. They did a pretty decent job most of the time. I took it every other week until they recently stopped the free washes mandated by the city due to the drought. Now I'm back to hand washing it. I enjoy washing it, but I hate seeing all of the chips on my front bumper.

A friend leased his ES from Escondido Lexus. He loved the fact he got free washes as part of the deal.
It turned out, he was getting free half-a$$ed rinse jobs (which the dealer called "washes").
He stopped going.
