For me it depends on the problem you take it in for...If you say it ticks when it idles, they should not have to do any hard acceleration..But if I take it in and say it makes this noise at 6500 RPM, I would expect them to drive it hard to listen to it...

The food though I think is a little strange....I have a 2009 with Leather and 6500 Miles...It smells brand new, and I expect it to stay that way...No fast food smells in my car..

But as far as a test drive, I personally am OK with the Mechanic testing it as long as it is the Certified Mechanic and not some Oil change rookie.

When I took My Z/28 in for major Pro Touring upgrades, the Owner who is the Head Mechanic had full permission to take out my 400HP Hot Rod to check the new Suspension and Brakes Parts. But in 30 years of Owning that car only three people have driven it other than me....All ASE Certified Mechanics...All for mechanical work...The engine bulider, the driveline specialist and now the suspension and brake specialist.
