My car has been in the shop for the past 9 days due to several issues including the vibe, pull right hard, and paint issues. I picked up the vehicle today and it had an additional 13 miles on the car.
The vibe and pull right issues were discussed with the service advisor and sales manager before I let them have the vehicle. I also clearly stated verbally and in written word that only the service manager was allowed to drive the vehicle if I was not present for the repairs.
I gave permission to the sales manager to drive the vehicle from the service department to the body shop that is a couple of hundred yards at best. I have not been able to get a clear answer on why they needed 13 miles on the vehicle and over an eighth of a tank of gas to verify my issues. The pull hard issue was noticeable within 200 feet of driving distance when I took delivery of the car. The drive shaft issue was already documented with measurements I took not to mention pictures of my inability to see through the rear window clearly at 70mph. I had already called the SVT group and provided the service advisor the issue/repair information when I dropped the car off.
I even explained to them that I did not want a repeat of my last visit to a dealer that promptly took my Saleen on a Ferris Bueller test drive that ended with the tech going sideways through an intersection that I was sitting at in my loan car.
Am I being crazy here in thinking that 13 miles was excessive for these repairs?
