My experience with other brands has been the same whether oil or differential oil change, car heads to garage shop area and then back to pick up area. When brakes are done, then I'd see a mile or two...max.

If this is a concern for you, next time request that they contact you prior to any test or diagnostic drives.

Thanks for sharing this perspective...didn't consider that [for differential oil change]. I suppose if this happens again for just a regular oil change, I may further inquire.
