Took my car to the dealer...

It's bullshit for sure, but not worth getting spun up any further over. The guy got in trouble; your car is unharmed; I'd just move on.

Or is it?

Beating the hell out of the car might not have acute effects but could have caused significant wear on bearings, synchros etc.

My co worker brought his sti in because of a small fuel leak. They beat the shit out of it. Smelled like cigarette smoke wouldn't shift right and started overheating the next day. The car was never the same, he got totally screwed.

Bobby, I'm proud you didn't kill the guy though

Takes car to workshop, bitches and moans when it gets taken on a road test (which, in my opinion, is perfectly fine in this situation)

Pull your head in and get over it. You sound like one of those customers that thinks their car is hot shit and the best/fastest/most perfect thing the workshop has ever had the luxury of working on. Do you actually have proof that the technician "chewed thousands of miles off" your tires on this massive several minute long "joyride"?

I really doubt the technician is even being disciplined.

WOW! Please explain why it is needed in the situation. Did he say that the tires were even abused? I thought someone else brought that up.

Wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, or were you the tech?

And he did comment on the tires, strike that from the record

He's just being a dick. And no I don't think it's the greatest thing ever or anything line that.

Home boy can check the service manual and he'll see that driving the car to "test the GPS " isn't in there. Never mind the FACT that he never turned to damn GPS on. Which was verified when I turned it on and the start screen came up first.

Punk needs to get his facts straight before he goes spouting off like that.

Modern cars are packed with so much ridiculous stuff with the electronic systems integrated into one another, a road test to check everything is still working (i.e. instruments, radio reception, wipers) and to ensure there are no dash rattles isn't a bad thing.

So I'll ask again - is there actually any evidence that he was out there for the massive several minute long road test thrashing the tits off it? Or are you just over reacting a tad?

Ever had your woman fuck around in front of you?

Me neither...
