Considering what you call detailing, I don't think you should expect and dealer to treat your car as well as the owner.

I would have been MORE pissed to know that they washed my car without my permission. Considering the circumstances and the reason that you brought the car there in the first place I think you made out ok with water spots that they left you to remove or wash out.

Paper floor mats are there for a reason and even though it got detroyed a little bit from the foot traffic, it's better than the alternative of NOT having none.

I think your over reacting IMO.

If I take my car in to any mechanic, I will put a sign on the window that days "DO NOT WASH". I have had too many scratches etc. come from quick washes after having work done over the years.

 

My dealer is great about this. They always wash the car unless otherwise instructed. I always tell them not to.

When I got the car, I specifically told the sales guy to NOT wash the car (it wwas frickin' dirty). When I got there to pick it up it ws washed: "We at least had to knock some dirt off of it for ya". I was pretty pissed.

 

I'd expect the dealership to wash my car after they service it, but I do not expect them to detail it. Detail at least equates to a careful wash, dry, and wax without including things like vacuum, interior/seats wipe down and treatment, top treatment, polish plastics, clean rims and shine tires, clay bar, etc; do you really think a dealer will do this for all of the cars they service? Lexus doesn't even do this and to be honest I am amazed how good their service is.
However, I do find it reasonable for them to clean up after themselves, it's part of the Honda certification is cleanliness.
But I too do not trust dealers anymore, I'm grateful that I found someone who I can trust to work on my S2000, but when you're doing warranty work u r kinda screwed.
