Exactly true.

Just ask him who was driving your car because you saw it sideways picking up a woman etc. When he says he doesn't know or it wasn't him then tell him how angry it made you and that you are going to make a complaint because you didn't authorise your car to be treated that way. The most important thing is give him an out of the situation. Once he sympathises then you can let him offer to service it for free, or cancel your bill. Elude to the free stuff is he is stalling, and let him know that this sort of thing doesn't inspire you to bring it back.
