I'd probably be more upset if they told me they couldnt figure out the problem on a test drive cause they were babying it and I had to spend more of my time figuring it out.

Back when i was a mechanic, a guy brought in his carrerra for a vibration at high speed. I took it out, got to about 70mph with no vibrations, came back and told the guy i couldnt get it to do it. He was upset that i couldnt find the issue and he made me go back out on a drive, he came along, and we found the vibration at 120. best drive of my life.

This is how the situation should be handled IMO. Communication is key and if the techs talked to the owner and let him know what they need to do to test the car and why, then it might not have gotten to this point.
