Then how do you expect them to check that the bubblegum adhesive would hold the parts on under vigorous driving conditions? huh?

Shouldn't you find another dealer if you don't trust them enough to touch your car?

I don't think I've ever been to a dealer who didn't note the mileage and any existing damage when I brought in the car. There are enough dealers around that if you're afraid they're joyriding go to another dealer.

Some years ago, I took my late model Miata to the Mazda franchise for a minor warranty item. Manager absolutely insisted that for insurance reasons their car jockey had to drive it over to the bay for the work. Reluctantly I let him. He gave it to the kid who drove it over to the bay and wrecked it on the way. Cost them some serious money and a good customer. Cost the poor, though careless, kid his job.
