I've had a pretty shabby service experience with a dealer this week whilst the car was in for an service and before I totally lose my rag with them i wanted to double check something.
It's been sat with them for 2 clear days since the service was done waiting parts that still haven't come in so I got them to drop car back. Rather than the expected 5 miles on the trip computer it has 16 miles on it with horrific mpg (this is the 'from start' trip so would have been zero before starting up today). The running time was nearly an hour (it's a 15 minute trip max) but I think that's because they'll have left it running while giving it a wash down. So the question is, do dealers usually do a ten plus mile shake down run following a service or has my car been moonlighting as a taxi!
