Another bad dealership.

RIDER MAZDA
1703 WEST COLLEGE AVENUE
STATE COLLEGE, PA
(near penn state -university park)

I took my car for oil change couple months ago.
they put 2 miles on the car.
I took a pic of mileage in the morning.
I wanted to complain at that time but it was snowing like hell.
I had to drive back to school asap before the road gets too f'd up.

But yea, they took it out for a joyride no questions asked.
I will try to post pics, (I am not sure if I took it with my old phone or new one)

oh yea, their service manager Jim ---
- LACK OF COMMUICATION
- Very irresponsible

I will never take my car there again.
I took mine back to Freysinger Mazda which is in Mechanicsburg, PA

I just wanted to give you guys heads up, if you want someone else to enjoy your ride, give it to RIDER MAZDA.

2 miles on the car = just enough to warm it up so it dosen't flood... not like they put 10 miles on the car. 2 mile is up the ramp on a highway, down, u turn, and back to dealership for where i am (Texas)

remmber they would have to do it twice. 1st time when they move it into their garage, again before they park.

Guys, no derogatory stuff aimed at sexuality, ethnicity, country, or anything else. Check the FAQ for the rules. And please post in the right forum.

unless there's damage to the car, then they'll just say it was a standard test drive to make sure everything's in good order. Maybe that's honestly what it was, maybe it wasn't.

Isn't 2miles kinda excessive?
Really worry about flooding, just leave the car on.
why drive 2miles. I understand they have to put the car in the garage and take out.
that's less than 0.1 mile...
