So back home, we disconnect the dashcam to see what happened. Basically what we find is a younger (20's) service tech redlining through the gears from streetlight to streetlight repeatedly - and theres 15-20 minutes worth of it.

Do you guys think that is really necessary to diagnose the idle-chirp? We had already been to the dealership weeks before to have it diagnosed. We were just waiting for the parts until now.

Or am I just overreacting about being bothered by this?
this is horrible and i would recommend you to tell the service manager right away. i am even a Toyota technician and i would never in my life treat a customer car like it is mine. not except-able at all. hate dumb people in my industry that make us all look bad
