If it's the shop I've dealt with now for several years it wouldn't bother me at all. I know the mechs and I know the owner -- good people, all. If they do a test drive and stop for lunch somewhere, okay with me. They have taken excellent care of my cars over the years and treated me fairly.

If it's a shop I don't know or just beginning a relationship with then I'd be pretty pissed-off.

Like so much indignity us old folks face, "Depends".
