If you grease your SA, you would be amazed at some of the things they do. Next time, when you're not sure if they'll work on your car, throw them a $50 or $100 and see what happens. Trust me...and another member on this board. 
Calton, I haven't "greased"
mine yet, but was planning on giving him a small x-mas gift - cash of course - when I take my car there for inspection, which is also at the end of my factory warranty and maintenance. Having said that, how much would be appropriate? How much do those guys make? I was thinking a $100, but I don't want that to be insufficient or offensive if the guy makes tons of money. Any thoughts?

A nice, crisp $100 bill will make you his top client in a matter of seconds . Perfect amount. Just be low key and subtle about it when you pass it to him.
. Perfect amount. Just be low key and subtle about it when you pass it to him.LOL, thanks! Exactly then answer I was hoping for. And yes, I was planning on doing this discreetly... Doing it the wrong way would be much worse than not doing it at all, I agree.
