Question Does 10k mile service include test-driving the car?

So I got my 10k mile service recently at the dealership and when I drop off the car I recorded the exact miles. When I picked it up, the milage on my odo increased by 2.1 miles.

I'm wondering if 10k miles service include test driving the car to make sure everything's fine

You can see this by reading your manual, but I believe -all- scheduled service includes a road test of the vehicle.

yep. that's the part I don't like about getting your car serviced. that and when the porters have to drive/park your car.

One or two miles, even if they 'smash' it, is not going to cause any concern. A car is not that fragile. If you can't stand anyone driving your 'baby' for a couple of miles than don't take it to the dealer. But it is really a non-issue.

yea..2 miles are probably nothing.. but just making sure that road test is one of the procedure for 10k mile service.

it's not the fact that they abuse my baby that i'm really worried about, it's what can happen like that guy who flipped the customers A8 or curbing the ish out of my RE30's that I'm mostly worried about lol
