Subtitled: If your dealer did a 1/2 hour CEL reset (Low Fuel according to them, but that's another story) and put 14 miles on the car would you be annoyed/concerned?

Default I would get pretty pissed, 14 miles is a lot. Any more than 2 and I would probably talk to the SA

unless it was something they needed to test a lot. But they put on new cam adjuster seals for me and only put 1 mile on it, so I really don't see why they would ever need to put more.

Default The jerks at my dealer put 7 miles on my car after....

They did the 30k service. I didn't say anything, as you know if you are on there bad side you are toast, but if it happens again. Hell will break loose. If it was 14, I would really bitch. I am sure they don't take it easy on our cars when they take them for a drive.

Default man we can always find something to complain about......

if the service guys put 5 miles on a car some people go apesh*t. then if they miss something during the service or can't find a problem that we think is there, we say "well how the hell would you know, you didn't even drive that car!" things that make you go...hmmmmmmmm.

If I had a good relationship with the tech, probably not.
