When I had my Subaru w/ AccessPort I dropped it off at discount tire, switched to the valet map and walked across the street for lunch. When I returned the manager approached me to advise that he took my car for a road test and it would not rev past 2750 rpm. He was very sorry and apologetic because they do not usually do road tests after an electronic balance. So I called him on it and asked if he just wanted to take my car for a joy ride. He admitted his lapse in judgment and offered me a 25% discount. I gladly took him up on his offer, switched maps, revved to about 7K and drove away.
