LPT: If you need to take your vehicle in to a mechanic, clean your car first. They will treat your car better than if it’s all destroyed inside.

All my mechanic buddies have told me this and I never would have even thought about it myself. They don’t care about your car near as much if you bring in a car full of dirt and trash. They will still do their job, but the little things like bagging the seats, etc. may not happen.
