Avoid buying sportscars from scrub brands that sell normalfag cars (Mercedes, Dodge, Nissan, Audi, Ford, Lexus, Chevrolet, etc)
If you are buying a sportscar and want to ensure some retard mechanic isn't going to blow his over your car and tard out in it buy a premium brand. A Porsche dealer won't freak out when a 911 GT3, a 993 Turbo, or a 918 enter. A Ferrari dealer won't look twice at your 488 GTB, 288 GTO, or 599 GTB Fiorano.
>How to avoid it Use a reputable mechanic you can trust not to joyride your goddamn car.

Stop being a shitcunt and service it yourself

The common thing here seems to be america, too. Don't want people to see use of your car as a perk? Don't live in a country that doesn't respect others or their property. Super simple stuff.
Bentley Perry
As a mechanic, I can tell you we don't joyride. The only time I drive a customer's car is to verify a complaint or to confirm that a repair is successful. We get paid for the work we perform, not for driving. Time = money. Every mechanic knows that if you waste your time dicking around you'll have a pretty meager check at the end of the week.

Serious people are busy earning money, also I don't have the know-how to fix my hybrid XC90.
Nicholas Taylor
You are a huge paranoid shitdickhead.
Lincoln Bell
This may blow your mind, but I have full time job and service my own car. It's just a couple of hours on a Sunday.
Joseph Walker
Your car probably isn't a hybrid XC90
Charles Roberts
Shouldn't have brought such a heap of shit then, senpai.
Michael Long
Who you replied to wasn't me though (the Volvo owner). You're being really demagogic though, if everyone would try to do everything in their lives without the help of anyone else, we would still pretty much live in the stone age. I'm really sure you can't fix everything on your car, you can't make new batteries, cannot fix the windshield or don't have the expensive equipment to properly fix damages and deformations in your rims. Or you can't fix a fucking hybrid engine, automatic transmission and fucking space shuttle electronics like in my Volvo which wasn't quite worth the price but fuck it, I love that stupid yacht.
Henry Lopez
At least I'm not a broke cunt who joyrides other's property.
Blake Anderson
Why are you even on Veeky Forums then? I'm not taking about major repairs here, m8. I'm talking a service.
Jason Rivera
>this assmad over his pile of garbage mom car Lol why?
Noah Robinson
As a mechanic at a performance car shop, I do. I'm also paid straight time. I go on half hour road tests sometimes. I don't ABUSE cars on road tests, I just drive them like I drive my cars.
Jeremiah Allen
I'd wring out a 288 GTO if one came in. It's not that I would do it for my own pleasure, sometimes a car comes in and it obviously just sits in a garage and the owner starts it once a month and revs it to 3k RPM max or limps it from the trailer to a golf course for a Concours. Great cars were not meant to suffer a fate like that.

>sportscars from scrub brands that sell normalfag cars
Never understood the appeal of those cars. What do they do that a Lamborghini, Lotus or McLaren couldn't? Its not like they are more reliable.
Lucas Long
>I don't ABUSE cars on road tests, I just drive them like I drive my cars. This. Hell, more often than not I drive customers' cars more gingerly than the customers do. I went on a test drive with a particularly difficult customer one time because he said his car accelerated like shit (but it felt fine to me). We turn out onto the main road and the first thing he does is floor it (on a 35mph road, mind you). I never took it above 1/2 throttle because why would I when I'm driving around town? As it turned out both his cats had melted due to other problems he left unresolved for several months.
As far as actual distance goes, the longest I'll usually test drive a car is a bit over 8 miles. That's hardly a joyride.
Xavier Sanchez
People abuse rental cars too because it doesn't belong to them. That's how some people are so there is nothing wrong with being proactive about it
Jaxson Hill
nice try MIDF
Ethan Carter
So if we assume that mechanics sometimes indeed joyride a car, what's the difference between bringing it in for a service or maintenance or a larger scale repair? Why would I be mad lmao, are you this retarded on a social level that you can't spot a normal conversation?
Levi Rogers
What about your car makes it so special it cant be touched by your tools? ive worked on my own lexus, bmw, nissan, and other people's fords and chevys and stuff, the only difference is metric vs SAE. and additional tools based on the MFG, like an e-torx set for my bmw.
you're not going to run into any issues replacing a control arm on your "spaceship" nancy.
not the person you are replying to btw
nor is this thread really for you, because you shouldn't be worried about mechanics joyriding in that kind of car
Brody Jackson
Wouldn't know cause I fix everything myself.
Logan Watson
You really can't prevent people joyriding, the best you can do is take note of how many km you've done when you bring it in, and confront people if they've taken it out during a routine service.
Hunter Sanders
What happens if a mechanic gets into an accident while they test drive your car?
