Do your t-shirts have big holes in them where the Tapout used to be?

I get free oil changes for as long as I own the vehicle, if I keep the front dealership plate on. Doesn’t bother me.

I've always just had the dealership remove it while I was doing the paperwork with sales manager or finance guy. Current truck was special ordered from the factory, so when my salesman called to let me know it had shipped and would be arriving in a few days I told him I didn't want the dealership logo stuck on my tailgate. Never had any trouble.

I keep forgetting to tell the service guy not to stick that static cling on my windshield for oil change mileage reminder when I bring it in though

I leave mine on, but only because I work at the dealership.

Why keep this free advertisement


Did you take the Car Manufactuers emblem off too? Scrub the tires of their names?

Tennis Shoes, Jeans, Polo Shirts, virtually any Sporting Wear. Your laptop have a logo on it? What about your cell phone?

I think what you really mean is you don’t like the sticker. We are all walking billboards of advertising. It’s difficult to not be.

I do get what you are saying. Only 1 of my 5 cars has a dealership frame and it’s Brumos. Too cool not to keep on the car.

I offered to sell the space to the dealership I bought my last car from. $30/month in perpetuity. I thought it was fair. They removed the decal.

Why do people leave the brand name logo on the car?

Free oil changes for the life of the vehicle?

Agree. When I bought a car from them several years ago, they were offering something nominal like free tire rotations if you put the website on your window. Nope.

First thing I removed was the bright yellow front license plate from Mac Haik. I still have the rear license plate trim because I haven't received my plate from them but they'll be in the garbage when it arrives. Luckily for me, I did not have any dealer stickers I had to remove on my Tacoma.

The dealership I bought my truck from gives me oil changes for the life of the truck if I leave them on. I like free oil changes.

The Katy Porsche dealership logo looks cool so I leave it on.

IT's one thing if it's new. Like a new Ford from Robinson's with the logo. But when you have a Chrysler 300 with "Jamal's Used Car Kingdom" or whatever on your trunk, it looks like shite.

Also, why leave an ugly front licence plate mount on if you live in a state that does not require front plates. My dealer got my SUV out of Texas and I requested the front mount be removed and the holes plugged. Even if you have to have a front licence plate, they're still ugly. If you don't remove that dealer sticker right away, the paint will be a different shade later on if it's removed.
