Two out of the 3 times I've taken my car to the dealer I've seen it, but this time the I was standing outside and the tech flew right past me. lol! The look on his face was priceless... luckily I was in a good mood this afternoon.

 

If I ever saw a tech smoking my tires not only would I be furious, but the dealership would be buying me new rear tires.

I was always leery about leaving the car at the dealership and marked milage before/after. I saw a tech driving my car 'spirited' and just shrugged it off because it will be done regardless- I would just rather be the one doing it.

I used to say that getting the oil changed was cheaper pay to have it done but after catching them not really changing the oil filter, I will never have anything done to the car by a third party again unless I absolutely can't do it myself. Ever.

Since then I do it all except recalls and flashes.

 

at least he didnt fly right by you and then crash.

i would have reported all that to the manager.

 

I hear that!
I'd be prettyt pissed of if I caught them doing it unless I approved it.

 

thats why I do it at my uncle's garage!!

 

If anybody's gonna spin the tires it's gonna be me! Might as well have caught the tech puttin' the moves on your girl.

 

my car had 8 miles or so on it after they fixed my wiring harness. They said they had to test it out to make sure it worked. Needless to say, I try not to visit the dealership more than needed.

I did turn down the boost controller before handing them the keys - but it's one button to put into high mode...

 

Nope

 

spinnin the tires i draw the line but if hes just rippin thru the tach who cares, hes de carbonizing the plugs for ya.


i beat my car CONSTANTLY why would i be mad if someone else was doing the same thing?


as long as it comes back the same shape it left, im still happy.

i let em beat it and dont care

 

There was a valet, in Chicago, that would rip around in cars (including a RX8) in the parking garage. He made videos of this and posted them on YouTube. I believe there was enough details from the video that he was found and reported. People were giving him **** in the comments section. They eventually were all taken down.

 

Wow!

 

Peeling/smoking the tires I'd be pissed. Driving fast, so long as the car got back in one piece and they weren't being reckless, I wouldn't care too much.

 

I'd track that dude down and kill him. Messin with my baby he'd get beat down..
