+1 I work in Quality, and the feedback is the tool they need to drive improvement. If you don't tell them what's broken, they can't fix it.

I fill out the survey with my honest thoughts and how I've been treated right from the beginning to end.

Survey rocks for a good reason,

Call for sure. How can they correct problems if they don't know. Fill out the survey so that they have it documented. Hopefully things will change.

I feel they send the surveys out for a reason, to find strengths and weaknesses. I would have been honest, filled it out and send it back. I think I would have told the salesman at the time of pickup about the shoddy detail and shown him.

I would call and fill it out honestly. Where was the saleman when you took delivery. Don't forget they are probable paying someone min wage to wash and dry only (not detailing) and charging you big $ for setup. When I use to take mine to the dealer I wouldn't have them wash it since there always seemed to be a scratch or two, On a new bike I would think the Saleman would check it over.
