Am I Being Unrealistic?

I sympathize with you. Some years ago, I took my perfect new Miata in for routine service and offered to drive it to the bay. They wouldn't let me. The kid who drove it wrecked it. The crunched fender cost them about $3,000 in repairs and taught me a lesson. I keep an extremely close eye on my car the whole time now, stand outside while they drive it over to the bay, troll the work area, etc. You are not unreasonable. I'd request a different car jock or go to another dealership. We have a major investment in these cars, both financially and emotionally. Your concerns and attitude are totally justified.
