Re: Customer records dealer beating on his Camaro.
Unfortunately I'm sure this still happens way too often. The joyride is one thing and is bad enough. The most disturbing part of this story to me is that the mechanic seemed to have it all planned out as far as how much money he would gain from the owner and GM warranty for repair work he caused!!!! Sounds to me like he has done that <span style="font-style: italic">MANY</span> times!

Re: Customer records dealer beating on his Camaro.
When I was in School, I had a friend who worked at our local Chevrolet Dealer which is right by the Interstate. He told us that all cars were washed after any kind of service. Each car was air-dried at triple digit speed on the Interstate. He also told us that during this "service" it was not uncommon for other problems to surface that may or may not be covered under warranty.

Re: Customer records dealer beating on his Camaro.
I've had several very bad experiences over the last several years with people driving my cars and motorcycles and it will never happen again. It's usually people that don't own nice and/or fast cars themselves that like to beat on other peoples stuff. Real car guys usually have a bit of respect and restraint when driving other people's cars.

Re: Customer records dealer beating on his Camaro.
Every time I take one of my Old cars in for an alignment or something I can't do myself. I stick close and crank my rev-limiter down to 3 grand.
20 years ago I took my Monte Carlo to the exhaust shop, Droppped it of and went to work, was going to pick it up after work. When my wife called saying the police were at our house because I ran from the Cops, I freaked out. Talked to the police and they met me at Muffler Man. Guy beat the snot out of my fresh 383 , Took the Mechanic away in handcuffs. Driving my car home the motor started Knocking. BAD .. Shop wouldn't do anything. Said how do we know you didn't just do it!!!! Really !!!!

Re: Customer records dealer beating on his Camaro.
Why can't everyone treat things like they are your own? If by chance you do break it, you pay to get it fixed.
