That's not likely what happened.

They are required to perform an energy diagnosis on the car. It takes a couple of hours, and generates a pretty large report with data.

Mainly what they will look at is number of trips within a certain range, i.e

How many trips were 1-10km, 10-30km, 30km and up - in distance travelled.

It may be a bad battery. In my case it was the IBS cable (intelligent battery sensing) ground cable. They wound up replacing the battery and then the IBS cable on a second visit.

All has been prefect for almost a year now
