For crying out loud people it is just a car. A few minutes idling and a couple of revs isn't going to hurt it. Some of these responses are just plain stupid.

The difference is that it's your right to drive your car however you want.

But the shop doesn't own the car and shouldn't be taking liberties with it.

My suggestion to post a negative review isn't about potential damage. It's about the disrespect involved in handling a customer's property. It's fair to let potential customers know that the shop doesn't respect you or the property you entrust to them.

Exactly! It's about respecting other people's property. It probably didn't do any harm but, what if it had? Or, what if something happens down the road.
Definitely contact the business owner and register your displeasure. Then follow it up in writing. If it's like the coating I got, I have to return the car every year for inspection and a surface treatment to keep the warranty valid. If this guy wants to keep your business and not get bad press he should be willing to own this.

Must be a boomer thing. How can you not give a shit about someone doing this to your car, even it it's harmless? Some are just fucked in the head, I guess.

So extortion?
Much over reaction.
It is a couple of revs for Christ sake. They didn't take it into a demolition derby.
Bunch of whiny little prissys.

I'm curious. Suppose you took your car to a shop, and when you got it back out of nowhere the owner said, "Hey, fuck you Tcoat. You're an idiot."

Would you take your car back there? Would you give the place good reviews?

No I wouldn't but the shop didn't do that. They reved a car a couple of times. Whoope shit. You guys want to blow it out of proportion then fine but it just is not that big a deal no matter how you want to spin it.

a little annoying for sure, but certainly could be worse and I agree that the revving in all likelihood did nothing...car was not under any load, not in gear (no random launching/clutch dump), etc..

if something like this happened to me, I probably wouldn't say anything unless the actual job I paid for came out like trash then I would use it as extra proof that they're clowns. I hate confrontations with folks like that, would rather just use it as a learning experience and find someone more respectable/reputable.

Why not? The insult wouldn't do any damage. It's just a couple of words for Christ's sake. It's just a little disrespect.

Sure they did. They looked at the car and thought it would be fun to disrespect the owner. It's not really any different from the camera capturing them calling the guy an idiot behind his back.

Do you think they would have bounced it off the rev limiter in front of the customer? Somehow I doubt it. I wonder why. Could it be that they would know that kind of behavior would be considered disrespectful to the customer?

In all seriousness, if it bothers the OP, he should casually mention it to the owner, something like "hey so I saw you guys revving it and bouncing it off the limiter, you probably shouldn't do that". If the owner replies "shit man, sorry, you're right, we're just car guys and get excited, won't happen again" then it's all good. If it's some snarky reply, or any indication that the owner is failing to understand why this is important to the OP, proceed with the negative google review and don't go there. The business lost will be ample punishment I think.
