Is thsi normal? (Service question)

I recently brought my car in for some warranty work (I split my rear seat leather and they said that they would fix under warranty ) I also brought to their attention that the driver's seat was squeaking when driving over bumps. I expected them to take it for a test drive but here is what I found:

KM's going into dealer - 12 929
KM's coming out of dealer according to invoice - 12 929
Actual KM's on odometer when leaving dealer - 12 935

I don't think that they needed that long of a test drive! The service department was closed when I picked up my car so I couldn't ask them about it. Does this sound a little fishy to you guys? What should I say to them? There is really not much to be done at this point is there?

That's actually not all that far, remember that the tech is likely trying to duplicate the problem, and they do that by trying different speeds and roads.

I agree with NSX Pilot, thats a pretty short distance, and like said before they probably were just trying to hear the sound.
