Turnips.
Don’t ask why I’ve decided calling people random food names is a good way to insult them...it’s been a long week. Favourite one so far is ham sandwich. I’m not right in the head
Take it up with the dealer. @Aaron_N had a shocking experience with this and put in a formal complaint. The Hyundai Headshed met with him and there was apology and compensation. They took it seriously.Just had my first (10,000 mile) service. That is basically an oil change and tell you that your tyres are worn out.
No other diagnostics requested (standard charge of £51 is somewhat offputting
Dealer put 14 miles on at 21.6 mpg.
I know that @_Emma posted similar but I can't find that post.
Anyone else have similar?
@WestsideTouge a few people have said they unplug them or put stickers on them
Telling them there’s a tracker and if it goes off the forecourt you’ll report it stolen works...

I once brought my previous car in to the dealership for a suspension installation, then shortly after leaving it there realized I had left my wallet in the car. Upon returning I had to wait while they tried to get ahold of the tech on his cell.
15 minutes later comes my car, screaming down the highway while I'm standing there. They hadn't installed anything yet, there was absolutely no reason to be driving it.
If it were an automatic I'd not worry much but it doesn't take long to cook a clutch in the wrong hands.

Shame you need to go that far for them not take your car for a joyride If I find out they disable it, i'm switching dealers.

Just noticed that on the invoice the "mileage in" and "mileage out" have been recorded as the same value Wish I'd noticed that at the time, I would have got them to change it. That could have been amusing.

33% polyester? There must be a story there.
Sleep is a definite need...not sure it’ll fix the weirdness though

Yup, that's the MBSW way. And at his third attempt at excuses, their MD told me it was for security reasons and then because some of their techs were shy!
My reply was, they can be shy and take liberties with the car when they pay for it, and pay for the servicing!
Local dealerships here have a 'disclaimer'so to speak, that they request dashcams to be disconnected . I get the reason to test drive after it, anything under 10k's I'm not too concerned about.

Re: Dashcam unplugging etc. Perhaps it's an Aussie thing (privacy issue/law), but look at it this way. How would you feel about people watching and recording the work you're doing at your workplace?
Good point. But then they could see how awesome I am
!No problem with it...because I don’t do things I’m not meant to do (or I make sure I’m out of camera shot when I do them)
I see what you’re saying (and I certainly don’t think tech’s should be unplugging dash cams - one did this to my mum’s car once and didn’t re-plug it and she nearly had a serious accident on the way home and consequently no footage to prove the dangerous driving by someone else) but in general the whole argument of nothing to hide, nothing to fear when it comes to surveillance and privacy is really detrimental to what should be a basic human right.
Other, far smarter people than me have some interesting counter points against it (although the slant is from the mass surveillance perspective):

I was kinda messing about - laws vary country to country and here in the UK you’re in camera all over the place, other countries it’s much more strict.
Either way, when I say don’t drive my car - don’t drive my car!
