A Subaru owner brought in his vehicle for a check engine light and found out his main dashcam was disconnected while under Curry Subaru’s care.

A Subau owner in New York shared a dashcam video earlier this year to the NewYorkDashCam Youtube channel showing a Curry Subaru employee in Cortland, N.Y. getting into his vehicle for service and, within a minute, caught by the backup dashcam unplugging the main dashcam from its power source.

Check out their video posted on Youtube below.

Curry Subaru is located at 3040 E Main St. in Cortlandt, N.Y. (Exact location on Google Maps linked here.)

“We took our car to curry Subaru to get the check engine light checked…,” the Subaru owner’s caption reads.

“…in this video, you see the “mechanic” get in the car and drive at high speed for a lot and then unplug the main camera. However, he unplugged the rear camera from the main unit, not the power that was in the center console. He saw it didn’t turn off then reached into the center console and unplugged the USB power which turned it off.”

Unbeknownst to this employee, a backup RING dashcam was recording the entire thing.

The employee drives around the lot in a manner the title describes as “aggressive.”

We then see the Curry Subaru employee drive into the service area into one of the bays before he exits and opens the hood.

At that point, the footage cuts off.

“…he’s upset but idk about what. He shouldn’t take it out on driving the car like that and most importantly shouldn’t be disconnecting people’s cameras in their personal car.”

Youtubers who saw the video did not mince words with their comments.

“If that dealership is worth a s*** they will reach out to the public saying they are sorry and the guy has been fired. If they don’t, I hope they go bankrupt,” the top comment from @Thumper2k174 said.

“This is absolutely pathetic. This is Curry Subaru in Cortlandt Manor NY. I’ve brought my cars there, never again. I’ve purchased a car there, never again. Once trust is gone there is nothing,” local @EricKliensman added.

“That was too fast to be driving around a dealership lot. Especially at a busy dealership. That’s how people are injured or killed,” @DiveMaster_Dan pointed out.

This is obviously not the first time a mechanic’s been caught disconnecting a customer’s dashcam.

A report from CBC from Toronto in 2019 on a similar matter saw a dealership employee turn off a customer’s dashcam not once, but twice.

Dealership management from surrounding dealerships went on the record to say that this type of employee behavior is not OK and, if dashcams must be turned off for some reason, the customer should be notified beforehand.
