Do you think a service team willing to grab $3 has a mindset to avoid scratching your paint, dinging your side panels, or ensuring the good quality of the work performed?

Once, I got my car back with sneaker prints all over the side skirts as that was their tool of choice to replace the side skirts.

No. Stealing the $3 is a sign that your BMW is not about to be serviced in the way you imagined.

What the hell good is having advanced robots build your car to spec only to have the shit kicked out of your car during service.

So, yeah, the missing $3 represents a key acknowledgement that the state of mind of the service team is not what you paid for. To me, I would not confront the lad directly because I would pray that the guy that needed the $3 so desperately is able to find a better life. At the same time, I would take my business elsewhere and notify the manager to tell them why.

Taking no action whatsoever is enablement. Eventually, $3 becomes $300.
Couldn't agree more with that ^.

Thankfully, my dealership has always looked after my car and myself.
