The most important thing is to write something up on Yelp or Angie's List and let people know. I usually review places I do business with and I appreciate an honest opinion posted, especially from an ISF owner.

I dont have a camera so I always take a picture of my mileage.

Agreed, I was a master tech at Volvo for a time out of college. There's almost ZERO reason to test drive after an oil change service lol. Let alone time is money in that industry. You aren't getting paid **** to do an oil service aside from a major one and sure as hell don't make a dime on test drives. I did them as little as possible, including during diag, just enough to figure out the issue and to get paid for the repair.
