How anyone can justify a non-owner driving the car w/o permission from said owner is beyond me.
Y'all's crazy if you think it was okay for them to do that. $5k beater or $40k Z, doesn't matter. I drive it, you don't unless I've given you permission. /thread |

I may be niaeve here and correct me if I am wrong but when you take a vehicle to be serviced isn't it implied you are giving them permission to drive the vehicle to test it? In my mind how else will you or the techs know that the problem has been resolved once said problem is "fixed"? The fact that they did a food run is unacceptable and can not be argued, but if they were infact instructed to do so the blame falls on the manager, not the techs.

No, I'm not giving them permission to drive my car when I take it in. If they say they need to test drive it, then I will give them permission to do so and advise them to keep it on side streets. There's no reason that they'd need to drive it for even one mile. And never any reason to "open it up" as you're saying.
They should never be doing "hard acceleration", I don't care what the problem is. Call me and have me do it. I don't want anyone "driving" my car. Why would a company even take the risk of monetary loss and/or a lawsuit (should their be an accident, damage, etc.) in doing something this? |

This would be nice, but I don't see a tech stopping a job to call the owner to have them come back and test the car with the tech riding shotgun. Dealerships have to do this all the time, and it's usually not a problem. If there's an accident, they have insurance.

The service advisor should go on a ride along or have a tech do it when you come in and say your problem is under hard acceleration. THAT's my issue. Not the risk of totaling it or anything

I've got a top-notch tech at my local dealer who I specifically instruct to go out, run through a few gears and let me know if everything feels right. He's driven a lot more turbo Zs than I have, and he put the kit on for me. He's also the only one who touches the car when it's at the dealer.

That's just how it is. There's no reason for them to ever do it without me present or with my permission, unless they're going to pay me for the wear and tear they're going to put on my car and tires. |

![]() ![]() But honestly "hard acceleration"...I do it all the time...With the VDC on there is no tire wear and these cars are damn sure ready and willing to go to redline and they actually love it... But again to me it should only be done by a Qualified mechanic only if the problem is at the higher RPM's...If the problem is not related to hard driving , then the mechanic should only do what is needed to diagnose the problem... I mean if I take my Z/28 in for checking the suspension and brakes, I don't expect the guy to do a 4000RPM clutch dump....But I trust my Muscle car mechanic more than someone I do not know at Nissan...Heck if he wants to do a 4000RPM clutch dump, i want to either do it for him, or be a passenger on that Joy ride.. ![]()

I had a look at this thread... honestly man, i wouldn't play games with the service department and get into a pissing match if it bothers you (which it damn well should). They do this all the time, and will continue to do so. These guys will laugh in your face and I doubt anyone will give a crap. Suggestion is you lawyer up, or have a friend with a law office send them a nice letter advising them of what happened, they may suddenly be interested in "service".
**Then I read the rest. Glad you had it resolved. Those guys are a bunch of tools. I had so many problems dealing with Nissan service in the past, I won't trust them outside of warranty repair work or something. Last edited by mjg; 05-08-2013 at 07:42 PM. |
