thats what I like about the local shops... they store you car inside and dont take weekend "joy rides" in cars, which is highly unacceptable... especially from a dealership. Just another reason I've started to document mileage at drop off and have someone at the shop sign off on the mileage before they take the car.... I dont want 500+ miles added to my baby

That makes me sick.
Just remember to check your mile-o-meter before and after you bring your cars in!

Yea I dont know how sane I would be in that situation. I hate letting anyone I dont trust deal with my car.. bodyshops, etc. Gladly I do any other work myself.

One more reason I've never let anyone work on my car. On any of the cars I worked on when I was doing a lot of timing belts and clutches, I never drove them more than a mile because I was operating out of my garage at the time and didn't have business insurance to cover such damages. I wouldn't have anyways, it's just not good business.

Wow, I'd like to know what they hit to cause that kind of damage. It almost looks like they jumped a curb or something, but none of the wheels are bent. Broken yes, but not bent, which is what you would expect if they jumped a curb or something. No signs of a hard impact either, and the airbags aren't blown, yet their heads hit the windshield hard enough to break it, and bend the steering wheel.

I think on a lot of newer cars the airbags won't deploy if the seatbelts aren't buckled.

It doesn't matter if the seatbelts are buckled or not. The airbags will deploy in a front end collision no matter what.
