Btw @Freeze2196, what kind of dash cam is that, and how do you make it turn on when the car is on?

Seems like he was pushing it a bit more than he needed to. There's no reason for him to take the revs over 3k or so. But he wasn't doing anything TERRIBLE, so I would just let it go.

That was the most boring "joyride" I've ever seen! You'd better write that one off as a test flight.

the revving is unnecessary and not wearing the seatbelt is bad. however the swerving is understandable to break the tires in but when i bough tires from discout they did not test drive them.

Im just going to let this one go...
Next time I need anything from them I will politely let them know not to test drive my car. At least the wheels look great!

I would be pissed. No need to wind out and chirp the gears like that for a "test drive".

I was under the impression that people just had tires mounted and installed the wheels themselves

Remember, Grown up man is responsible, and joy riding a customer car is no where responsible for a shop, insurance reason, family life. With all that said, any automotive shops has strict policy on test driving (unless neccessary). Unless you bring your car to an independant mechanic. I think it is rude to request a shop to do a job partially, and then come back to complain about it. Lastly, it isnt hard to test drive a car legally at a local dealership. I do it all the time. |
