Following on from the Main Dealer fixed priced servicing thread, I want your stories of which dealers give the best free food and drink when you're there to have a look at a car or drop your own car off for servicing.

Exactly, your still paying for it with the overpriced service.

Well it is when you have a company car smile

But for me that ended 10 yrs ago, don’t think I’ve set foot in a main stealer for over a decade.
Now it’s whoever inside can be bothered to bring me out a brew and a chocolate hobnob.

Reminds me of that episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry keeps inventing problems with his BMW i3 so he can take it in to the dealer so he can get the complimentary liquorice that he had become addicted to

I've never stepped foot in a Rolls Royce dealership, but I'd imagine they're the best?

Bought a car from a driveway dealer in North London once, and he took me for lunch because the car wasn't ready, proper restaurant lunch.

I think my own best main dealer experience has been Lexus Cambridge whilst in for a service, coffee nice, and they give you a day pass to the local David Lloyd health club.

Local Suzuki dealer. Proper mug of strong Yorkshire tea and 2 digestives. 20 year old sofas and yesterdays newspaper.

Historically not used main dealers much as I've had company cars until now, and they collected and delivered. Lexus dealer is nice though, with decent coffee, biscuits and magazines.

Took a 911 to Jardine Porsche for servicing a few years back got invited to Stoke Park and a days supercar drive including Aventador Porsche TTs Maclarens and Fs.

Great no expenses spared 'a la chart' feast with top wine at SP afterwards although the experience was somewhat blunted by having to listen to some boring and predictable 'brand' director and his accompanying monolog. curse

Almost worth it though.
