I was in getting some work done to the gt-four a while ago, and while i was waiting a mechanic drove out the garage in my car and didnt return for 15mins. I wasnt even informed of this test drive of my car, and no mention of whether the mechanic is insured or not.
Whats your thoughts?? I reckon the car was given some beans. Going in again soon, what should i say to not let happen again?? This post has been edited by 3SGTE: Jan 20, 2008 - 5:16 PM -------------------- ![]() |

yea..for a lube job, they shouldnt be taking your car out..it should b in, and out, unless your car is cold, even then, they should only take it around the parking lot or down the street for 2 min to warm up the engine, but not 15 min. If i were you, i would go talk to the shop foreman/manager and the owner of the dealership and give them hell.
personaly, most of my jobs that come in at my work are LOF *lube oil filter* and the only place i drive the customers car is out of the parking spot, around to the back of the shop where my bay is, up onto my hoist and repeat the same places as i go to park it for them when im finished. Even if the customers car needs a part from the dealership 2 units over, i get out of their car and take the shop truck. |
