Can't confirm what was done with your car except for when it came in a couple months ago for paint work. I can tell you that at that time it was treated with respect while I was there. Everyone that works at DC now was not around for the supposed joy rides.

you do realize that part of the job is test driving vehicles? in fact, you may have to beat on them to notice a problem that the customer is complaining about right? for instance a break up at 20psi. well you kinda have to get on a car to make 20 psi. in fact that a pretty usual problem. people don't gap their plugs correctly and thats a result.
i'm not saying that people havn't got on them before, but personally i look at driving customer cars as liability at its best. i don't drive them if i don't have too. most mechanics are held personally accountable to damages done to customer cars while on a test drive.
with that being said, usually means that if the mechanic breaks it, he buys it. thats what our policy was and i wasn't about to break a car, have to explain to the customer and then finially have to pay for damages out of my own pocket.
f that noise.
there are other times when i have to beat on cars. if you just came in and spent a butt load of money for a turn key car. we know the first thing your going to do is go beat the living shit out of it. if we have to put it through the motions to make sure your going to be satisfied, thats what we have to do.
does that mean were doing burnouts? no, becaue it doesn't pertain to the situation.
maybe a customer wants a flyby to hear the exhaust, wastegate and/or bov.
there are plenty of reason you see us and i assure you that all are legit.
maybe not back in the day, but thats how we opperate now.
any performance builder that claims to not beat on a car is feeding a line of bull. only people that wouldn't are on dyno's, but dyno's are probably the worst thing you can do to a car in the first place.

you're beating a dead horse trying to back Ian and DC up, they fail, maybe 2 people out of 100 would do business with you guys. i would give up and move on.
