Tipping your Service Advisor
#31
Waitstaff in the US pays tax on 15% of their sales because thats the average. Waitstaff only make enough hourly wages to cover taxes.
I’l tip the tech, but i ain’t tipping the service advisor. A tech can get burned on warranty work and get a claim kicked back. They are the talent, sales makes their cut on their upsold service.

Tiping culture is way out of hand. Whoever tips their service advisor probably let's their wife have an open marriage.

I brought 2 cars in for service/modifications. I could not make it during normal business hours to drop the car off. My SA came in on a Sunday on his day off when the dealership was not even open at all to sit at the dealership waiting for me for about 45 minutes while I went back and forth from my house twice so that I could bring my cars inside and not have them sitting outside overnight. To me, that’s going above and beyond. He didn’t ask for a tip, and is a very nice guy who genuinely likes cars. He respects my cars, and I feel actually likes me as a person. He would have done it anyway, because he offered it to me himself. I didn’t ask for it. I tipped him because I appreciated this gesture. He worked on his day off FOR ME. That’s worth something in my book. A tip was not expected of me in any way.

For real? These clowns do basically nothing. They take your "customer states" and present it to the tech and then forget to call you with updates, while simultaneously trying to sell you a fuel system service and unneeded alignment for $2k.
They are one step above brand ambassadors or whatever lame title they have given salespeople on the useless scale.

Most SA's are bonus incentivized by automated review services sent out by the dealership a couple days later. I always make sure to fill those out with 5 stars and a compliment by name... anything else seems like not the time or the place.

OP must be a service advisor looking to normalize this behavior 🤣
