At Markquart Toyota, we’ll wash your car every time you come in for service as our way of saying thank you for choosing us for your service needs. There are a few things to keep in mind so that you can take full advantage of this free service. Our car wash is a touch-wash featuring soft-cloth brushes that do an outstanding job of cleaning your vehicle without scratching the paint. If, for any reason, you would prefer us not to wash your vehicle, let the attendant know when you arrive for service. It is our desire to wash everyone’s vehicle that would like to have it washed, but there are a few practical limitations to our offer. First, if a vehicle is covered in a thick coat of mud or if it has excessive rust on the body, it cannot go through our wash, as it is not good for the car wash. Also, if there is an exterior antenna that can’t be removed, or something is loose on the vehicle like trim or a mirror, we are not able to wash these vehicles because they could be damaged during the washing process. One final situation where we are not able to wash the vehicle is when weather conditions do not permit us to wash. Typically, it is when the temperature is 15 degrees or lower during the wintertime. In this case, we are happy to give you a rain check and you can stop by another time to have your vehicle washed. Satisfying our customers is our primary goal here at Markquart Toyota. If you have any questions or concerns about our car wash process, don’t hesitate to contact our service advisors or manager Jeff Webber at 715-552-4440.
