I feel pretty certain I would crack Sanchez's skull for joy riding in my car.

I need more back story on this. What was the car in for? When I have my truck repaired, I specifically ask the mechanic to drive it enough to make sure the problem is fixed. Did the mechanic have permission from the owner to drive it? Was a test drive appropriate? Might not have been, if, say, they had replaced an airbag or something that wouldn't present in a test drive.
Also, was this the mechanic that worked on the car, or was this a porter? If it was the porter, yeah, I'd be extremely pissed too. If it was the mechanic and there was no legitimate reason to test drive it, I'd be upset, too. If a test drive was appropriate, however, then the fact that he drove around to holla' at his home boys and girls isn't upsetting to me. Lots of questions. |

Yup. Guy took it in for an alignment. That doesn't warrant lighting up the tires, driving 70+mph down narrow neighborhood surface streets, and a burnt clutch smell in the cabin. By all means, test drive it. DON'T FLOG THE SHIT OUT IT. That's the customers job.

The dealership is now eating bad publicity due to cheaping out on what could have been easily taken care of. |

My Ranger had its first alignment check at 75K when new Michelins went on. It required no adjustment. My Miata got its original clutch replaced at 156,000 miles. I question why a seemingly near new Mustang required a front end alignment, and why the joyriders who were not drifting the thing or doing smoky launches could smell the clutch... could it be the owner pounds the shit out of his car on his own?
