Yeah I don't see them taking off a personal frame but funny they changed it to their own dealer. I still have my dealerframe on the car its not that bad and I like it better than no frame.

at least they asked, you should ask them who told them they could switch it without your permission. pretty sure they dont have a right to touch it. would go up to them and ask them if it was okay if i take down their sign in front of their dealership and put my name up or something fun. most likely something funny... i want to do this now. |

interesting
I went to Bloomfield several times and that never happened....imho that's a no-no, who says they can do that? Where it would be totally out-of-line is if they glued a decal to your trunk, can you imagine?
My license plate frame tells them I did not buy my car from you, you have to earn my business! LOL yeah, right. p.s. I think Bloomfield is owned by JMK.... |

I had my Steelers plate frame swapped out at Advantage BMW Midtown in Houston. I was pretty pissed but lucky to have caught as soon as they pulled up the car. I pointed it out and the SA disappeared for a little and came back and told me to submit a receipt for a replacement and he'll reimburse it. After doing so he told me to swing by next time I needed a fill up and he gave me a tank of gas. Was a pain in the ass, but at $50/tank, it kept me from being too pissed off.

An indy did it to me. Couldn't believe it. Not that I was smitten with my stealership one.
Spurred me to go buy a nice Genuine BMW frame. They look pretty nice. Won't be going back to that indy though. |

I'll only rock a dealership logo on my car if they payed me to. Maybe $20 a month for the frame, $100 a month for sticker up to 2"*4". Other than that I like my cars like I like my women, bare. I even debadged an M3, logo messes up the symmetry.

My service dealership has a sign stating that they will change your plate cover/frame. Of course you can decline their generous offer.
It looked better than my sales dealership, and protects against rock chips (front plate).

To OP: Yes, they actually do this. I used to work for Lexus as a valet and that was one of our tasks. To be on the look out for worn out license frames to change them out. We walked around with a screwdriver. At the end of the day each license frame changed was worth a $1 each. lol

First thing to go are dealer plate frames and stickers. Once my daughter had her Honda Accord serviced and later I noticed a dealer frame they had attached, we took it off right away. I don't care for plate frames but my daughter did get me for my birthday a "USAF Retired" frame and it looks great.

Sounds great. Thank you for your service.
If you have a "man cave" you can use them to frame pics of your car.

Absolutely agree! Dealer aint paying me to advertise for them. I Took frame and sticker off soon as I brought the car home. I also don't use a plate frame, I'm surprised they don't put one on each time.
