I've been invited by my dealer for a "check in" where they'll top up fluids, check tire pressures, detail the car, and give me a tour of the service department.

Is this normal? I'm not complaining, mind you.

Never happened to me but would grab it with both hands !!

Yeah, that sounds like what my dealership do or have called a "MINI pit stop". You may have just been hit by their regular marketing mailshot.

This was actually a personal phone call... I was impressed... but maybe I'm easily impressed.

There are some things your parents should have taught you to stay away from - did the dealer tell you there were puppies in the service department too?

Yes, please... thank you...

I was amused that the paperwork called it a "MINI Second Date"

I was going to ask that when I'm in the dealership tomorrow getting my new shoes fitted! Every Pug I've had got a check at 1500 miles/6 weeks to check fluids, everything is done up tight etc........

It's been six weeks, but nearly 3,500 miles for me... 1,100 of that has been for non-commute fun... (why, yes! I'll take that long detour through the mountains to the beach just for fun!)

The puppies are at the beach, too!
