Dealer took C7 for joyride
 

Yeesh....I would be pissed. I would have words. Many words.

Did you ask them why they put 148 miles on your car? thats where id start.

That sux but from personal experience I don't think there's a damn thing you can do about it.

My issue was I think the car (not my Vette) was damaged and repaired without telling me. I got nowhere. Couldn't prove a thing. I was ready to kill people. Not really. Maybe.

I'd have a conversation with the General Manager or if a smaller dealership the owner. No demands, no drama, just an FYI to see if that's a dealership policy.... shut up at that point and listen.

Same thing with me. I was pissed. But as stated before. What can you really do or what can you expect them to do? I pissed and moaned to my wife and this forum and decided the same as all others in this situation --its just not worth the time and energy for something that can't be undone.

:iagree:

I've yet to see a service agreement that doesn't include the dealer having the right to road test the repaired vehicle.

But of course... his issue is 168 miles !!!!!:eek::leaving:

Just sayin'.....that probably gives them a (legal) out.

I'd still bitch but the OP's options are probably limited

When rebuilding or getting a new differential, they must be driven at least 50 miles or more, drained and oil replaced. I don't know what the exact GM procedure is but this is probably what they did.

Man the dealer stories just never stop.

When any of us leaves our car at any dealership for any reason, we should absolutely read VERY carefully what we sign.

A dealership near me, in the agreement, it states in black and white, not only is permission given for them to drive it, but additionally they are held harmless for any damage or accident they are in when they drive it, which means I am responsible for anything that happens while they drive my car.

I encourage all of you not only to READ what YOU are signing and WILL ABSOLUTELY be legally bound to when ANYTHING THEY CAUSE happens, but not only read it, but I also encourage you to strike through any of the language you do not agree with that you will be legally held to. Strike through anything you do not agree to, and initial it, and take out your phone and get a quick photo of what you signed, including what you struck through.

I guarantee you WILL be held to what you sign in the event of any problems the dealer causes. You do have the right to restrict them from driving your car without you accompanying them on any test drive.

Do you really think the person who gets to take your 460 or 650 horsepower C7 Corvette for a ride is not going to run it harder than you would EVER knowingly allow?

Um, if you don't know the answer to that, please, let me borrow your car this weekend.

:lol:

There's not a damm thing you can do about it. BTDT, the last new Mercedes Benz I bought. Put 75 miles on it before I picked it up when brand new. The salesman started to get pIssed that I'd even question them. Dealer dirtbags.

That's ridiculous, Arturo. I'm interested to see what kind of explanation the manager gives you and what they intend to do about it, if anything....

i had a friend bring his motorcycle for an oil change he went across the street to get something to eat, he seen someone was using his motorcycle doing wheelies up and down the block, yea very insane indeed, of course they said it wasn't his bike
