I guess my Mazda dealer, which I feel they’re one of the best car dealers I’ve ever experienced with, apparently is doing much better job treating their customers.
When I went to an Oakland Toyota dealer with my daughter picking up her just arrived 2022 Toyota Corolla Hatchback XSE, I asked the salesman not to install the front license plate. Apparently this wasn’t the first time he heard such request, he immediately pulled out the New Car Prep check list, and pointed to one line which says install the front license plate as “required” by California law.
