where I was it was actually pretty good. my guys never really joy-rode customer cars. although the brand I worked for made NOTHING remote exciting so it kinda made that easy.Lol I’m sure you guys rip on those cars just as bad as we did when I worked valet...
Sounds like you worked at an incredibly shady and unlawful dealership. Once you found out they tampered with the airbag, you should've filed a lawsuit and retired.I worked at a dealership in F&I years back. Bought my used jeep there. After I purchased, a service advisor told me what they had done to it and said I could easily fix. They pulled the vacuum hose off so my blend vents wouldn't work. They also loosened a airbag connection under my seat and a few other similar things. All designed to get customers back in to pay to fix things. We also told people we filled tires with nitrogen and charged them....we didn't even stock nitrogen.
After working at a dealership and knowing what I know now, I will never, as long as I live ever take any vehicle I own to a dealership for anything.

Took a 2005 TL in for a transmission issue back in the day and ended up with this thanks to the tech taking it home. View attachment 1691323

I brought my Tundra in for an airbag recall and on the way home the airbag light came on. I called them back and he said they’d look at it but would charge be diag. I told them forget about it. I found the plug under the passenger seat disconnected.I worked at a dealership in F&I years back. Bought my used jeep there.
