 So I took my car into the dealership to have it serviced (free). The gas gauge is about 1/8 left. They had my car for ~2 hours and low and behold when I get it back, it's down to almost nothing! WTF!?! I check the odometer and see that they've driven it about 3 miles! How the hell do they waste all that gas on 3 miles!?! And where the hell did they drive my car to anyways (their facility isn't 3 miles long)? My guess is they saw a nice car and wanted to see what it can do... morons.... GRRRR....stuff like this really sets me off. EDIT* The service was for an oil change and air filter change. That's it. So I don't know why they would need to drive me car afterwards.

for something so easy, you should've done it yourself...

This was my Lexus that they "test" drove for an oil change, not my Celica. It's the first scheduled maintenance and they offer it for free. I always change my own oil and air filter (no brainers) but since this was a free service, I took used it. But even if they drove my Celica like that, I'd still be pissed. I don't know about you guys, but whenever someone gets into the driver's seat of my car, I get a weird feeling like I just want to grab em and tossing them the hell out
 So yeah, I treat my cars like my own children (if I had kids, that is)  QUOTE (azian_advanced @ Jun 16, 2008 - 1:14 AM)  for something so easy, you should've done it yourself... -------------------- 2002 SC430 (WC) - 19" SSR Comp-H, Daizen swaybars, Sparco Demons, JDM Soarer conversion, carbon fiber spoiler, Injen intake, front strut bar, drilled/slotted Brembo rotors 1997 Celica ST (DD) - 17" ADR, ViS Zyclone CF hood, ViS CF hatch, K&N intake, Invader body kit |

That sucks man, I understand they need to test drive the car after something more major, but oil change shouldn't require any test driving. -------------------- |
