One way to make sure THEY are aware of what YOU are doing is to write down
the mileage on a piece of paper, sign it and -have the service rep sign it
too!  Or, as with my local Dodge dealer, I have them fill out the RO before
I leave, showing the mileage and having the SM initial it.  This has always
been successful for me.  Of course, I do expect a couple of "road test"
miles, but 38!
