No. If the kid's doing this with one, he's doing it with others too. And I don't want to be one of the "others".

And while I have a sneaking suspicion this is all too common at dealership service centers, I'd rather do what I can to minimize the risk; and part of that is identifying which dealership has employees abusing cars, then avoiding them. If you don't want spit in your McDonald's, where do you go: the McDonald's two blocks over, or the McDonald's where last time your friend went he got a Quarter-Pound Spit w/ Cheese?
Okay, so what are the odds then? If you're so adamant that you're correct about the odds, give me some numbers and tell me how you support them.

BTW, I worked for many years as a tech at a Toyota dealership. During those years, I got to know lots of other techs (from my dealership and other dealerships in my area) and I'd say that 99.9% of them were always respectful with customers' cars.

If you think that someone posting the name of one particular dealer where one particular employee abused one particular car will somehow help you minimize risk, well, then I can only laugh and tell you "good luck". Do your best to "beat the odds", bud.
