Just curious how people deal with taking their car for service when the dealer is not conveniently located? My car is due for its first annual service and a couple warranty fixes (headlining and B&O) though the closest dealer (Bellevue, WA) is nearly 300 miles away. I figure they’ll need it for at least a few days and I don’t relish the thought of driving back and forth (providing a suitable loaner is available or if I trailer it up).

 

When my Esprit was new and under warranty, the closest dealer was about 200 miles away. I used to send my car up to them on a flatbed tow truck and then get a one-way rental to pick up the car on the way back. The dealer would send someone to come pick me up at the rental car return.
