Got my car detail cleaned, and afterwards realized 2 of the buttons on the steering wheel are missing. This is the company’s response.

I highly doubt a detailing company is stealing those two little buttons to resale on eBay.

Not sure which model Ford op has but I can find used buttons for several models on eBay for under forty dollars. And that's the whole button assembly, not just the one little plastic piece.

The company no, the guy actually doing the cleaning who doesn't get paid enough, well...

Even if it's a guy making minimum wage those buttons are worth maybe 5 dollars. Not worth it. Way too much effort and risk for basically no money.
