Ontario man who took car in for service shocked to learn it was driven 90 km away

Like a scene out of the film "Dude, Where's My Car?" or " Ferris Bueller's Day Off," an Ontario man is speaking out after he took his car to a dealership for repair and was later notified by his insurance app that his car was being driven nearly 90 km away from the business.

Frank Statti says he took his 2017 Nissan Altima to a dealership for repair.

He told Global News his backup camera was failing intermittently and he needed to book the appointment. But when he checked the insurance company’s monitoring app on his mobile phone and saw his vehicle far from home late at night, Statti said he got concerned.

“My initial thought was maybe someone stole the thing,” he said.

Statti said he wondered why his car was 90 kilometres from the dealership that evening. He said the tracking data supplied through the app showed his car had been driven above the speed limit for most of the trip to Woodstock, near Highway 401.

“It was driving at crazy speeds… up to 148 kilometres per hour,” Statti said, noting there were frequent periods of hard braking.
