Pull out the Amex and they're going to love your tattoos. Just how the world works now.

That's honestly strange they give you looks......they've never seen someone who's ink'd up before?

Most others touched on the key point that the dealer trains their staff for the bottom line. SAs will hone in on scare tactics if need be. The best way to save money is to educate yourself on what your automobile truly needs and the most efficient way to get there.

Everyone gets the special treatment from the stealership. I will say that folks who are obviously oblivious get the red carpet treatment but they payfor it.

At worst they'll view you as having a high risk tolerance or iimpulsive and try to sell you a new car.

Different level of service because of tattooed body…. This is not like it’s medieval times. You’re nothing extraordinary, just another tattooed individual. Soon there will be more tattooed people than those that don’t have one. Get over it and live your life the way you like.

Did they not treat you right? Or did they mess up your car? What happened?
On the invoice one of the parts was billed at $320 when most BMW dealerships I found (that have online parts departments) sell it for $250.

I don't know... I usually get everything for free. Well, except for the Brazilian, but that's because they never offer it.

That's nice. One I go to has a bunch of snacks. Came in early in the morning — sure made up some of the money I spent on the car!
