Explanation:
juste une précision concernant la différence entre le point d'accueil (banque) et le point de réception clients dans un garage : la premier sert à recevoir tout le monde alors que le second est pour le service après-vente : révisions, garanties etc..(mon mari s'est occupé d'un garage pendant 7 ans)

banque d’accueil


Explanation:
I wonder whether we're not (all) looking at this from the wrong angle: the customer is coming IN to pick up his NEW car!
Banque d'accueil therefore "check-in desk" (where the seller has computer access to all the files + technical info), and not far away, "le point de réception" where the CUSTOMER is introduced to + picks up the vehicle. Just a thought. I believe generally in a dealership the person handing over the new car to the customer is called a 'livreur'

(been in such places once or twice as the \"customer\" - it\'s very nice!)

\"réception\" in this case would be txl by \"handover\"
