Default Illegal JoyRide. Need help

I took brand new LFS to shop to get tints. I put the car in valet mode and got alerted that it went over 30 miles an hour. I'm going to see the shop owner just wondering how you would proceed.

Pardon my acronym gap

Which vehicle are you referring to as a LFS (I am thinking Lexus F Sport but am not sure and can only guess at the model).

Why would they even take the car for a ride after a tint job?

Just rip them on Yelp and move on.

Agreed. Welcome to CL.

I'm not a lawyer, but I believe that, if you have reason to suspect that the car was driven illegally, you can have the GPS recorder analyzed if the info wasn't erased. Some new cars have that capability....some don't.

S2000 to IS350 has a point, though...a good panning on Yelp might teach them to keep hands-off.

What's the "valet mode"? Is this an actual function on the Enform app, or something separate?

If they didn't run up alot of miles or trash it why be mad I would think car gets driven past 30 mph or would hope so, maybe your pride and joy inspired someone to one day get one of their own and join the club. But if damage occured be very, very, very mad.

I would call 911 and then a priest, but I'm not sure in which order.

It's gotta be a Lexus LFS, his username states so.
