You aren't kidding. I hate people working on my vehicles, even for an oil changes.
Reasons:
* tech's are human and try short-cuts, go quickly for flat-rates
* Oop's, tech didn't realize that his/her Harley belt buckle gouges the paint
* Oop's, tech strips the aluminum treads or forgets to tighten the plug/bolts
* Oop's, tech scratches the door panel getting in and out.
Besides that, I am fine with others working on my dream.
Do you get upset when you get that explanation, "Sorry, we could not duplicate the problem"?

They have a 7 to 10 day backlog for transmission tech. Won't put me in line without me leaving my car there.
Researching what other dealership to go to. Want to just have it there for the hour or so it takes to do the flush.

Separation anxiety - not really. I have to say the dealers around here do a good job when it comes to fixing the car without messing it up in the process.

Local dealer service dept, takes good care of me. Service writer takes good care of me and has a loaner for me if needed. Tech and I are friendly and also takes good care of me.

Same here. The dealer service department I deal with is competent and professional. Luckily, I haven't had many problems with any Corvette I've ever owned, sans my first (a 2001) and my third (a 2009). So I've never had to leave my car with a dealer for more than a day or two.
