How many of you wash the customers vehicle before delivery?

[VII]

Just out of curiousity;


Having a vehicle sit in the shop for a few days can gather a good amount of dust.


Does your company go out to the local car wash before delivery of the vehicle?

Always... Plus its a good double check that everything is sealed properly - Roof, Headlights or taillights etc...

We take ours through a car wash that does the vacuuming and wipe down after, etc. The customers love getting it back smelling and looking clean...and for me that's 12$ well spent.

Our vendor has a guy come to his shop and wash the cars before they're returned to the customer. I think it's a nice touch.

Yep, almost always

As a person who is big in to detailing cars, I am glad people do this.


I wish PD's would go further and clean, wash and detail cars when they go to auction. Put some of those inmates to work at the county garage.

Our department gets nothing from the sale of a vehicle at auction, so there's little incentive for us to detail it. I remove the emergency equipment and we turn over the keys to the property department. There were years I was sending Crown Vics with no headlights, tail lights or any other part I felt could be used as a spare for the rest of our fleet.


We also tend to run cars until they're on their last leg. Then I'll swap out the blue for amber and assign it to our student CSO program until they kill it. Then it can go to auction.
