Default Lexus Tech vs ISF (Dashcam Vid)

Car was in for service. My advisor stated the car couldn't be driven due to inner tire wear on the front tires. I got home and was looking for video of a Pagani Huayra carbon edition I spotted on my ride home and I quickly realized I wad lied to.
The tech did indeed drive my car, even went as far as calling his brother, showing off for him over speaker phone.

Pretty pissed. Here's the Vid.

It bothers me every time I see a post like this. Makes me want to get a dashcam for my F. What dashcam do you have? The video looks pretty clear.

The constant revving off the car was what had gotten on my nerves and when he said it was boring but it would be fun to take home for the weekend did not make any sense lmao but I've seen worst .

I have the Cobra CDR840 from Costco, believe it was $99.
I actually have it on Standard definition, HD video takes up space on the card too quickly.

It's visible in the line of site, tech is a moron. Waiting to see what the manager is going to do to make it right.

This kinda stuff is exactly why I don't like bringing my car to the dealer. Like everyone else the next time I'm forced to bring my car in whether for recall or something I'm purchasing a dash cam prior to. Technicians are stupid now and days. Maybe before when you had plausible deniability but now there's so many ways to get evidence against you via GPS or Video is it worth losing your job?? If I were you I wouldn't settle for some bs like a free oil change as compensation. Keep us posted.

And yet another video of a Tech taking the F out for a joyride! Some of these guys can't resist it, in this day and age of everything and I mean everything being filmed you would think these techs would operate like they have a camera on them at all times when working

Still it's unacceptable, so keep us updated on what they end up doing for you because of this

The dude's name was posted on the flag above his service bay. What a freakin' tool.

At least he didn't roast the tires on takeoff like the last one of these I saw. I believe the poster said the tech was canned.

And he lives at home with his mom. Bet they'll be spending a lot more time together real soon.
