I am due for an oil change but based on the small amount of miles I have been putting on have decided to wait until this is over

Our Mercedes needed service only a dealer could preform nothing that couldn't have waited
Due to no traffic and they weren't busy..Decided to risk it..
Made the call set up an appointment to drop car off

First of all felt good to get out and what nice ride over to Sanford with no traffic, road to ourselves and yes still few idiots out who think they own the road
Upon arrival we were greeted by 2 techs in full hazmat suites who greeted us and first question they asked may we sterilize your car.
Then they held door open for us to enter dealer ship.
Because I called ahead all the necessary paper work was ready to authorize the work, we signed with a pen which we brought with us .
Then we washed our hands with hand sanitizer and upon exiting the building they again opened the door.
We left with a loaner that was disinfected just prior to our departure
In short felt 100% safe

Ford service excellent
 

Had a call from Key-Scales Ford about 2 overdue recall issues. They offered, came and picked up the car here in the Villages wearing masks and gloves. I went out with gloves and wiped down anything that might be touched , with alcohol. They brought it back and had the paperwork in plastic sleeves and laid it down and backed off. I signed and they went away! I went back to the car with alcohol again! Thanks to them for the excellent service which kept me home!

Do you know what they did to disinfect the loaner?

Amen. I love those guys and use them exclusively.

Mercedes of Gainesville picks mine up, and leaves me a loaner. I never have to take it there.

Doesn’t everybody touch your car in service any other time you have it done? The regular flue death rate is 24,000 to 62,000 for 2019-2020 year (quite a range). Just wipe it down with wipes when you pick it up.

I brought my car in for service almost a month ago...before driving to the dealership I pondered over whether to bail or go ahead

I ultimately decided to go ahead and take a loner vs. stay in the waiting room

At the time we thought that we'd be driving up to Savannah and SC's low country for a weeks escape....that didn't happen due to covid-19

that was over a month ago...everything was still open in TV...if it were today I would postpone

heck, I don't think that I've put 150 miles on the car all month

Take a sanitize wipe with you and wipe it off your self. You should do it daily anyway.
!/3 cup of bleach to a gallon of water.

Been using MB of Gainesville for years, have never set food in their store for car purchase or service, they're a first class operation, my car came back totally sanitized--told them to leave their loaner in my driveway, take the keys back to the shop & pickup their loaner when they returned my car--gave Ralph one of their valets whom we have seen for years a bottle of wine thanking him for past & present service

Fogged the interior
Wiped down steering wheel and door handles knobs buttons

Sumter tire is best shop for everything ,
 

You go interested in thinking you need service they tell you not yet , they are the best

If you’re taking oil change I sure oil kills virus on contact. If mechanic getting grease all over you’re car I would find another shop that takes pride in there work.

Just have wipe or rage wear with alcohol wipe down the door handles, door latch, steering wheel, gear shift, controls on dash and where ever you put you’re hand when you get in if you have to bend down to get I .

I Do this every time we are out and go in stores. The virus only lives on for few hours. Most likely the mechanic is just as cautious as you working on unknown persons car

And you’re paying dearly for that service.

No, some can’t even fill oil back up to proper level. 95% don’t follow up and some don’t know what dip stick is. I would trust anything dealerships employees says, but sometimes you have no choice. I would think MB dealership are top notch, but only verification (follow up) of service only way to know.
