*Ask the service advisor for proof of the oil filter change.

(They might not change it and then sell the filter on eBay, Amazon, Mercado Libre, etc.)

*Fill the windshield washer fluid reservoir with bottled water and tape it to prevent them from using tap water.

(This prevents clogged hoses and water spots on the windshield.)

*Identify the tires if they are going to be rotated. Use labels, tape, brand, serial number, and DOT number.

(They charge you for rotation and then don't do it.)

*Make sure they replace the correct screws and clips on the lower cover after the service.

(Otherwise, they might lose them, and you'll have to replace them later.)

*Remove all your belongings from the vehicle, such as glasses, USB drives, or other valuables.

This will prevent problems and misunderstandings.

*Ask them not to clean the dashboard or the displays/screens... to avoid scratching the acrylic on the instrument cluster or screens. (Applicable at car washes)

*Ask them not to apply tire shine gel. (Applicable at car washes)
(Do it yourself, as this is a trick car washes use to make your car get dirty faster)
