Went to pick up my new car yesterday and on the back of the car is the dealer logo. Not a plate frame but a decal on the rear panel. I told them to take it off or I won't take the car as I am not a "rolling billboard" for the dealership. They were shocked at my complaint and said it would be important to have that on the car when it comes in for service. Am I off base here, picking it up this afternoon logo free.

I have a hard time believing they were shocked. I sold cars. We on occasion would have a request for no sticker or to have it removed.

"Sure, no problem".

Nope. Not one bit. It's not hard to take off. Hair dryer, dental floss/fishing line and a bit if goo gone.

I actually picked the dealership to start my car shopping because they don’t do this. Some local dealerships actually paint their logo on.

Scare tactic to get their logo left on. Ignore it since if they refuse to service ,or something worse, you can sue them.

The logo is absolutely not important for service.

To begin with you are entitled to sevice anywhere within the deal network of that brand. What dealership the car was purchased at within the network is (or at least is supposed to be) absolutely irrelevant.

Where the can was purchased pops up with the VIN check which is normally done at dealerships as a matter of course simply to they can recommend services due.

I'm curious as to the make of this vehicle that was purchased.

I would have requested it removed as well. You were spot on.
