Got my 997TT back today. Cheched out the mileage & invoice and they didnt match. Said that "2871/2880(IN/OUT)" But the car has 2885! Looks like the Tech had a 5 mile joy ride eh...? Told the Service rep. And started to give me some BS about we need to test drive it! Im like why? For a bad O2 sensor and a bad airbag light? Im like WTF? Why does my car have 14 miles on it! Told him it doesnt match the invoice! He said nothing. I left the dealer(Bert Smith). Why do they have to drive my Porsche for 14 miles?????

I'll be calling Porsche......

 

I hate that shiit.

 

Porsche isn't going to do anything about it.


Also, I don't know, i'm not a big worrier....I don't mind people driving my car. I tell techs to beat on it if I take it in for a problem.



9 miles vs 14 miles doesn't mean anything to me.......had the document said 2885 would you still be upset?

 

Anybody know the phone number of Consumer Affiars?

There is no reason to test drive $150k Porsche that had a light buld brun out. LMAO 14 miles!!!

 

Where's the 5 miles?

 

they may have had to 'test' drive it more due to the o2 sensor work you mentioned. did you check your tires?

 

The told me that the front tires had excessive wear on the inside tread. Im like ok. But im gunna give the msome heat for 5 un-accounted miles. I dont take that crap easy. Some smart@$$ was in a nice joy ride.

 

Is there any damage? It might be more trouble than it's worth to follow up on this if there's nothing else out of the ordinary.

 

Dude relax. Test drives after any service work is normal. Techs at Porsche dealers don't get a whole lot of joy out of joy riding these cars. They see them everyday.

 

Just make it clear 'no test drives' unless customer present. Tell them to log it in to your account at the dealer, along with no washes etc.

 

+1 I would be very upset if that happened to me.
5 miles of horrible driving can damage the car.
Hey, they didn't pay for it why should they care.

 

If you have no confidence in the dealer, you should take your biz elsewhere.

2 valid sides to this story, but you just don't know. If you want to stay with the dealer, discuss your concerns with them objectively. If they are smart, they will recognize that you are a big-ticket customer and should treat you accordingly.

Of course, people don't always do what they should do.

Personally, I hate when I deal with someone I should be able to trust, but then get a bad taste in my mouth because of some little (but potentially big) problem like this. Hope it works out for you, but remember...if this is the biggest problem in your life, you are indeed blessed.

 

You are worked up about that? Who cares? I feel sorry for the dealers that deal with crap like that. Do you think it's the only turbo they have ever sold/driven?

 

Called Porsche and told me that they are going to work on it.

And yea I care who drives my Porsche. Its not like I'm gunna let anybody just get in and drive it 14 miles.

 

I hope things will work out well for you.
Most tech guys who goes out for a test drive, they tend to drive longer because they don't want to go back to work in time. WHo knows what could they be doing in the car?
rolling joints, sniffing coke or whatever. A lot of tech guys do drugs especially in CA and no one is really trust worthy at the dealership.
I feel your pain.
