This is the kind of crap that makes people buy other cars.
Do you think he would notice that you have a worn out toe link while he is under there?

How many Lotus are they working on? How do you know they are making money? It could be that the tech thinks it would be fun to work on a Lotus to break the monotony.

Lotus techs have been trained by Lotus and they are doing more than an oil change while they are under an Elise. They know what to look for and are much more likely to spot problems than a Toyota tech.
