Also keep in mind, these techs can/may take your car for a ride.

Owning a Golf R, our cars came equipped with VW CarNet for a trial 6 month period. This allowed us to put up geo-fencing and trigger alerts if the car reached distance or speed traveled via app. A lot of the owners on the VWVortex forums had seen dealership techs "road test" the car after service. A forum member mentioned his car hit 100MPH so yeah....
