tip?

may be this is a stupid question....but anyway I want to know.
when you guy take ur car to do service, like change some aftermarket part.
Do you guy give the tip? if you do, how many percentage?

I know when we go out to the restaurant, get the haircut, or some other type of service we do give them the tip.
but for the car????r u???

i work at a shop here in cali, no its not customary to give a tip, like at a hair cut place or resturant. if i have helped someone a lot and saved them money by doing my homework, everyonce in a while they will give us a tip (usually $10-20, once i got a $50!) it just depends on how far out of their way they go for you. remember, fixing/modifying your car is their job, they arnt doing you a favor. if they do go way above and beyond, and you feel its appropriate, tehn go ahaead and tip them, they will love you for it

Not typically. But if anyone gives exceptional service I will tip. Give what you think is reasonable.
