Default NO happy with MOT centre

WTF are they up to, zerod my guages and mileage, now have 14miles extra and peak value of 1.2 bar boost. Also had black finger marks all over my car and a rather unpleasant air freshener sprayed in my car. Never went anywhere apart from there so should I complain, although not sure I can as its the company that does all our cars from work.
I work on cars every day in life and dont kick hell out there cars and I certainly dont expect any one to do this to mine.......
Right rant over I spose.....schemy gits.... thats better.
Oh and passed its MOT....legally and all
Time for decat to be refitted

No MOT involves a road test so no extra miles They wanted some fun to see if they Subarus are as good as people say Some mechanics think its a perk of the job BOLLOCKS to that go back and kick up a fuss They probably think they left no trace of the fun theyve had in YOUR pride and joy by spraying cheap nasty air freshener to cover the smell of burning brakes or clutch They dont know you have the ability to recall peak boost Point this out to the garage owner/manager and tell him your not happy and you will be complain to the trading standards and speaking to the local paper If the garage workers wanna find out a Subarus true power tell them to go buy one just like you did with your hard earned money

Tell them about it as long as you don't intend to go back there.
I foolishly complained about mechanics performing wheelspins in a certain BMW garage in Glasgow city centre (don't have it any more) BEFORE I got it serviced.
I bet it got the ar$e kicked out it when I wasn't there.

That's completely out of order. 14 miles !! That's a gallon of optimax at 1.2 bar !!
I would have a serious word with the manager if I were you mate. There's no reason for a road test for the MOT (unless they haven't got a four wheel brake tester) but even then, it certainly doesn't need to be 14 miles at WOT !
It might not achieve very much, but at least they'll know not to do it again !

Barstewards !

Spooks, don't let the tw@ts get away with it mate that is right out of order. The same deal happened with me with a 'former' employee at AWD with my E6. I got a printout from NavTrak who were data logging the car. Some silly speeds on the local Perth roads.
Also to clarify before Grant hunts me down, It was not him or Dave and in no way reflects on AWD, just the ******* that used to work there!!

Totally out of order IMO, you should make a complaint.
