My kid brother is a service tech at my HD dealer …….. so definitely not!
I do get a family employee discount on all parts & service though, so that balances things out for me.

I am definitely not on good enough terms to get them a Christmas present.

I tipped an auto mechanic /owner once cause I was broke down on road, and went way beyond.

But not the guy who works on my truck regularly
