Camaro's getting detailed, starting to freak out! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Steve Dallas · 02-08-2010, 12:52 PM

I took my car into a detail shop to get a full detail done, and it's out of my hands for the day (they give free loaners).

Maybe I'm paranoid, but I took down the milage beforehand, and I have visions of this happening...

just dropping my car off to get washed/detailed in front of me, I have that vision.

I check the mileage every time I leave it with someone other than myself. Like yourself, afraid of joyriders. LOL, just recently watched FBDO. That movie is so halarious! Timeless classic from the 80s.

The problem with just taking down the mileage is that they can just say it came in here with something else. I'd recommend taking a picture with your cell phone

. I have a personal 'horror' story I've mentioned a few times so I say my paranoia is just caution.

Good idea

Got the pic, just because I'm sure I would have forgotten what it was otherwise

I'm starting to get the shakes...withdrawal from Camaro...

IMO do it yourself for piece of mind.

SSOOCH · 02-08-2010, 06:39 PM

It will be fine relax. And if they take it for a joy ride just be thankful that you have such an awesome car that can bring joy to others as well.

Use your cell phone to take a picture of the mileage and show it to the guy/gal who takes your keys.
