So Lexus had been bugging me via calls and letters about taking care of a fan bolt recall that's been issued for my car. A few weeks ago I decided to call and make an appointment to take her in. I normally loath taking my car to the dealership, only for important recalls.

While I was there the service writer asked if there was anything else of concern? I mentioned to him the car has a very slight pull to the right on the freeway since the day I bought it, so maybe have a look at it.

Took my loaner and off I went, get a call about 3 hours later the car was ready. When I picked up my ISF I noticed a 1/4 tank of gas was used up. I came home and pulled the video footage from my dash cam and it looks like the tech was having a bit too much fun.

Here are some highlights from his "test drive", there was a lot more footage even one where he sat in the car idling for about 1 hour during his whole lunch break.

Anyways, I'm not even really upset about it. I mean I've driven my car more aggressively but it's a little concerning seeing somebody else flog her around. Anyway guys, enjoy the video. Keep this in mind the next time you take your ISF's in for work if you're OCD about your baby. No harm done, thank goodness.

Yeah - this is beyond punching it while rolling a few times on the open road. Look like they launched the car pretty hard at least 5-6 times.

BTW any recall is supposed to get a full tank of gas as part of the service!

I drive like an a-hole alot, but never goof around in school zones, near pedestrians, or in residential areas.

That aint cool unless noted by mechanic! At the very least get a free oil change and full tank of gas.

Yes. I would be asking for full tank of premium and some new rear tires.

What's funny was in one of the video footage they had a bunch of techs gathered around my ISF, revving it up and such like it was an LFA or something...lol.

They had like 2 GSF's and maybe 5 or 6 RCF's on the lot so I would figure the ISF wouldn't be anything special to them...

That's a lot of hard mileage added to your IS-F (particularly with multiple launches from a dig and the tech pinging the rev limit in first gear on several occasions). Though Lexus vehicles are extremely durable, there's no need for someone else to be abusing your car like that.

It also looked like your car was on the road much longer than it was in the service bay.

He bounced it off the rev limiter multiple times.. I would not be happy.

What dealership is this? Just saw the above comment.

I appreciate how cool headed you are, but just imagine how many other carrs this guy has bounced off red-line.
