Now I know for myself, we have done this type of thing at my job..where the owner of the shop may take a car home for an extended test drive to see if the check engine light comes back on...but its a no brainer that the shop is responsible if something happens. I'm glad the lady went all the way n got them exposed on the news, those people at that dealer are seriously selfish scumbags.
Either way tho...generally, your car will be driven by somebody at a repair shop. I know at my job some of us take a car out for lunch breaks, parts runs or porting around customers. This is true almost especially if you have a sports car or any car with a full tank of gas...that mug will be driven. But I will say it is a good way for us to get familiar with the car and feel/notice anything that should be brought to the customer's attention that they aren't cognizant of or afraid to mention to us.

what are you talking about?Originally Posted by davidisgodly
First off, I was lead on.
I thought, hey, a money making black woman, hooray!.
Then, her car got totaled for no reason, didn't she have a replacement car for the time being in the repair shop? But nonetheless, i felt bad this happened to her
THEN! Insurance covers 29k. BUT she owned 36K. I smirk.
Not only did insurance help pay off her car debt, but she was in no place to EVER pay off that car note.
I have zero sympathy.
Goes to show, life is hard when you can't get a job.

And a quick FYI but it *IS* common practice for tech's to take customer vehicles home with them if they need to diagnose an intermittent problem.

But they had already diagnosed the problem and ordered the part.....A test drive was no longer needed....Originally Posted by Vancity74

Living beyond ones means FTW.....
+@*+*! situation tho....dealership was totally at fault.
It happened to me, too. I sent my car to the shop, and when I got it back, I decided to vacuum the inside. I found one receipt from a gas station and another from a restaurant in Rhode Island from the day the shop called me to say that they needed one more day to solve my issue.Originally Posted by HyphySole
