Vehicle Processing Center - What all do they do?
The Owners' Circle vehicle tracking section finally shows my car as having arrived at the Vehicle Processing Center. There is a photograph of several technicians -- all wearing white lab coats -- working on a BMW.
I'm curious and would like some detail on what actually happens to our cars there.

Basically it's the final factory check-point to ready cars for delivery. If any cars are damaged on the high seas then they send it to the body shop there to get if taken care.
Don't quote me on it, but I think this is where they print the Mahoney window sticker too and stick it on the windows.
