I'm not sure as it varies dealer to dealer, but I always make sure that my deposit is refundable before placing it, and I ALWAYS put deposits on a credit card. That way if they fail to refund it if the deal goes sour, I can open a dispute through the credit card company.
My advice... cancel the check through your bank, and then call the dealer and tell them that the deal is off due to their incompetent detailers.
