Default Does your dealer wash and fill gas tank w/service?

My dealer washes my bike and fills the gas tank after servicing. Do all dealers do this? I was just curious. I think it is a nice touch.

I WISH! I gotta say however, that they do wash the bike after service so they are not all that bad. They're pretty good for a "Stealer". I go to Annapolis Harley in Annapolis Maryland for service or go to American Harley in Hughesville Maryland for add ons. Both are about equil distance but Annapolis washed it. Hughesville is out in Podunk and less crowded.

When I used to take it to the dealers for service they washed it, but no fuel....
I now take it to an Indy for service, he doesn't wash or fuel it....but is $35
less expensive per hour.
For that coin I'll wash and fuel my own bike !!!!

Washed only...but I am sure they would be willing to fill it with fuel for an additional 20 bucks parts(fuel upto 5 gals) plus 85 bucks per hour labor charge.

You trust a lot boy making minimum wage to wash your bike??? No thank you....As far as the fuel, good luck in this economy or if they do, believe me, your paying for it one way or the other....As far as I'm concerned, dealers are for free warranty work and small service items that you need in a hurry. The rest I'll do myself and for parts the online HD dealers who offer the 20% off. Feel the love!!!!

The only time they filled it with gas is when I bought it, when I've had it in for work they ask "do you want us to wash it" I say no, as was pointed out, the owner will do a much better job then the shop boys would.

The only 2 times I had had my bikes serviced(1K) by a dealer,they were washed but no fuel.I guess they could afford to wash when the services were $350 & $390!
