It really does suck that a dealer (or anyone that services your car) would be so sloppy to drip (or worse) brake fluid all over the wheels. Any mechanic should know that brake fluid will eat paint.

The service quality you get should have nothing to do with what car is being serviced.

One question, whey did they not take the wheels off to bleed the system? I have not done mine yet, but I would think that it would be much easier to bleed the system with the wheels off.

You definitely need to have a conversation with the service manager. any damage they need to take care of. Maybe they will give you a GT3 loner while they fix your wheels. Hopefully you took some pictures before you cleaned them yourself otherwise it could be a he said, she said situation.
