Post First service

Far out, seems as though when we moved to ff.au we lost a few people along the way.
Anyway i went for my first service (3000km) today. Not impressed with customer service at all, i asked them to do several things like check the battery which has been acting up lately, see if anything is wrong with the bootlid release button because very very occasionaly it doesnt work.
Also i said the drive by wire throttle wasnt responsive ( i did this because it wasnt working properly and plus i wanted the updated software ) also i wanted a head light alignment.
They simply said there is nothing wrong with the boot button and stated the obvious saying that u have to press the control button twice (already knew that one) They also said there was nothing wrong with my headlights, i said yes there is there all over the place, so they checked them again and said yes they are out of place lol.
Plus when i got there i asked the chief mechanic about the drive by wire throttle and he had no clue what i was talking about .... he goes umm wait a sec, runs off to another mechanic and comes back and goes ohh yeah so whats wrong with this throttle.. dumb :


but anyway i have it back now and i think the software has made a difference, the throttle feels good and its got more grunt and response. Anyone else had a similar experience?
