Service Employee Driving Type R

[typer844]

Hello guys,

I joined to share this video. This is my car. I posted this on a facebook group and thought I should with everyone else as well. I got a lot of response on facebook.

I took my car to get the hardness recall upgrade done. Got curious and went over my dashcam video and found the most disturbing stuff.

What are your thoughts

Wholy sh$t I would be maddddd.
I would want compensation or extended warranty at the minimum. Maybe even call a attorney. Took life off the clutch that’s forsure!

Definitely a girl in the car that can’t drive a manual.

That's fucked up. Definitely threaten to go to one of your local TV stations consumer advocates and/or legal action.

I'd want a new clutch at the very least. That was a lot of wear on your clutch. I'd also expect damage on wheels, lower lip, or both. I would be inspecting that car with a fine tooth comb and go after the dealership for a new clutch (or just the full replacement cost in cash). Depending on how viral that video goes, the dealership stands to lose a lot if trust which will cost way more than a clutch for you.

I also don't think it was intentional abuse (though I could be wrong) but that "tech" had no business driving a manual. The r is one of the easiest manuals I've ever driven so (s)he just had no clue what they were doing. And the is irrelevant to the damage done

I’m be very upset, they had it out for over 45 mins!

I once found a deposit slip for a personal banking account in my visor when I picked up my car after service at the local Honda dealership. (Just an oil change and tire rotation) I returned and asked the service writer if my car required a test drive and whether or not it was taken out on a test drive. He stated no but he would talk to the technician. After a few minutes (10-15) he returned and said that the technician did take it for a road test as a courtesy. When asked about the deposit slip found, they didn’t have an answer.

I got the full cost of my service refunded and a complimentary full tank of gas. (Probably 87 octane)
Both were offered by the dealership without me making any demands. I simply advised that I was not happy about the unauthorized use of my vehicle for personal matters and very disappointed in the untruthful answers I was given to justify the action.

This happened to you too?? Same dealer or different one?

Looks like they used your car to teach someone how to drive stick, I would be furious

It seems like the driver was able use the reverse gear fine, but had no idea how to drive it in the forward gears? Makes no sense.

I was cringing when I heard the engine constantly redlining.

 

[SCOPESYS]

Seems obvious that the driver could only drive an automatic, and treated your R like an automatic.. either put it in forwards, or but it in reverse.
Seems like when in forward, it was pretty random as to which forward gear they selected !!
I feel your pain and disgust !!

An unnecessary road test by some dealership pylon who can’t drive stick?
That’s almost worse than beating on it.
Yeah, they’d be replacing the clutch at bare minimum and doing a LOT in the way of ass kissing to avoid being sued.
Years back I had a VW that needed periodic valve adjustments as part of the maintenance schedule.
Took it in for service one time and it was obvious that the work didn’t get done because the dust on the cam cover wasn’t even disturbed... not a fingerprint.
Yeah, the tech did the work after hours with me watching over his shoulder the whole time.
