Long test run. Mib2 won't tell. Mib3 if it has that pass on it but suspect if you aren't running the sat nav might...
Body shops, Seat do use approved paint shops. You get the official paint job which is covered by Seat warranty or your friendly local body
shop which doesn't have the warranty. I guess yours went off to the approved
shop. You only get them into the unapproved warranty repair places if you take it yourself. My dealer was good to offer me the two options. 80 + mile for your official one with Seat warranty or the one the dealer recommended if you were not bothered about warranty. Everybody locally takes their car there for the hedgerow scrapes etc.
Explains the distance if you live outside a town area where the VAG approved bodyshop are more distant.
