Even they were having trouble trying to explain how a service tech can put 61 miles on a car - they basically had no idea , other than, it went for 3 test drives

So, 3 20 mile test drives is what we're looking at - if the log is accurate.


The service director told me that he would speak to shop foreman and have him investigate and report back why such high mileage was necessary for diagnosis and repair of an alignment


Next question:

What sort of compensation should I seek from dealer?

Explanation of who drove my car and where to?
Money? ($200? )
Free Detail?
Something else ..?

NOTHING. Cheapskate.

I agree. Best to let it go.

[insanecoder]

IMO hes right to be upset and most of you would be if it were your car instead of his
it doesnt take 60 miles to diagnose an alignment problem
it does take 60 miles to drive to an airport to pickup someone and maybe a few joyrides and rips

[Zentan]

OP is not really upset about the "61" miles, rather the imaginations he's having that multiple mechanics had sex in the back seat with their gurls

Do you know the meaning of irony?

I never said anyone should view things the way I do.

But you have continually said 61 miles is ok for me (or anyone) because it's OK with you.

Please do yourself a favor and educate yourself

Ok, so I'm a cheap guy for spending $$ on a brand new car and then NOT letting a service guy take it a 61 mile drive lol

That makes me cheap? Lol

Someone with some common sense finally

61 miles is not a big deal; now if it was 62 miles I would really be fuming. lol

I'll change it. Woefully naive. Entitled certainly comes to mind. If you're not a millennial you're doing a top notch impersonation of one. I read the entire thread and I'm just calling it like I see it.

[Michael Schott]

I think 61 miles and 6 days is excessive but it's not 3 pages of posts prompted by the OP's whining excessive. He wonders if they will compensate him $200.00. Me think he complainith too much.

I think you are over the line. Any rational person would find 61 miles to be too many and suspicious. I get criticizing his expectation of $200 but your attack on him personally is uncivil, rude, unpleasant and says more about you than him.

Again--if it's not ok with you, why ask all of us if we think it's ok? That was the whole damn point of your OP, right? You just want validation, and you aren't getting it--so you lash out at everyone else.

You can keep going on, not getting it, and making a fool of yourself. I'm fine with that, and it will make this thread much more enjoyable.

So everyone above who disagrees with you is irrational? OP asked for advice, and he got it. If it was so cut and dried, there'd be no point to the original question (if there is a point....).

No, that's NOT the whole damn point of OP.

Can you read bro? Without adding judgement and bias?

Point of OP is IF 61 miles for an alignment is normal or excessive ?

That's it - PERIOD.

No, I do not want validation of how I think, I'm simply Asking for advice.

Some posters actually did give me useful explanations of why 61 miles may be necessary and that is appreciated.

You and these other clowns come on this thread and add all this BS drama and start telling me what I should or should not think is laughable

Although, I do wonder sometimes who you guys are and what your intelligence level is ?

I hope some of you clowns aren't driving POS cars that you wouldn't mind having a tech drive 100 miles or and maybe some of you don't even own a bmw -- who knows?

Anyway, I find this argument mildly enjoyable hence the time I'm spending even responding back to you clowns.

[pj94z]

By god - I hope some of u aren't ever selected for Jury Service for someone who is innocently accused


Because you guys would hang the person without even TRYING to see the whole story

Ok, so what would you do?

Why don't you add something productive to this instead of saying what you would NOT do ?

That would help

I'm guessing you just lost at least two who were somewhat sympathetic to your situation.

Ohh no

Didn't realize this was a popularity thread

I thought people on this board would be reasonable adults
who could provide some simple feedback

Didn't realize that asking for advice on this board is grounds for getting flamed

Maybe next time I'll just find another place for advice
