You know what, I guess there is nothing wrong with the Biatch's car after all.
It was just out for a road test!

The punk kid said they do it all the time. How the F@CK can the managers not know this is going on???
I think this dealer needs to have its right to sell SVT revoked!

I'm in the habit of writing the mileage down and taping it to the speedometer when I leave my car somewhere... and of course keeping a copy for myself. Knowing you're paying attention is a good deterrent.

Yah,... some service tech took my ex-girls car out to get his lunch. Ended up getting caught by her sister; the guy was about 5 miles from the dealership, and was smoking in her car.

I agree with that, but I feel that more should be done. That dealership should be giving that customer anything and everything he/she wants, just to save face. If it was me, my lawyer would get me an written apology from the owner of the 'ship, a new clutch, new set of the tires of my choice, and 100K warranty (with a condition that I get to watch work being done, and no one drives the car but me). With that I would be happy......

At the very least, they should get the warranty. If it was me, I would want a new engine.
The thing will probably smoke in a few years, and you know they wont fix it...

Kinda like Aztec.

I usually sit at the dealership if I ever have to get anything done to my car there.

agreed. I think this is the first time import/domestic got along on something. PPl clearly said they didn't own a muscle car and no one ever minds.

No one touches our stuff but us.

omg just not even 1 hour hard drive it's not gonna hurt the car that much @@
although he shouldnt do that but ask dealer for all that isnt it too much ?? mind as well ask them to give a new one
