To be fair i'm sure we all worry a little bit about what might happen whilst in the garage. Personally I'm more concerned about a mis-shift mistake causing damage down the line, or at the very least a clock up of Rev2's in the ECU (for re-sale issues). I always run my car through the durametric before (and screenshot) and after to cover my ass. Unsurprisingly nothing has every come of it.

These people see Porsches every day, they have no reason to rag yours.

And even if you come in something rather special, I'd imagine the most they'd do is take a selfie with it or just generally admire it. In fact, if its more special they're probably more likely to be extra careful with it if they do do a road test.

I Don't have time to scratch my Arse let alone get out on a joy ride in one of the many exotica we get in. Tbh were so focused on getting cars sorted its simply just not an option. Unless the situation calls for it ie a full range test drive brake check etc, We've got things to get on with. We're not 17 year old teenagers. If your Indy is respected then move on life's too short to ask if the tea boy has been out pulling chicks.

A car getting ragged during a service can and does happen but I suspect everyones interpretation of 'being ragged' varies a lot.

What pisses me off more is getting the car damaged and being left to find out myself rather than someone fessing up before you leave.

I thought about this thread, as I sat in the passenger seat of my car whilst its new set of discs and pads was bedded in and tested. hehe

Sometimes, needs must.
