Default Is 10 miles excessive for a dealer check?

You may recall a few weeks ago I posted about my check engine light coming on. Honda decided to replace the throttle body and sensor. It has taken several weeks for all of those parts to come in, however, they finally did and I had the work done today. I knew they were going to need to test drive the car, however, a check of the odometer shows they put 10 miles on it. I am wondering if this is appropriate or if I should call them on it. To me, I don't see why it should take 10 miles to check, however, I don't want to start something if this was reasonable.

Thanks.

Seems reasonable to me for a transient problem, especially if they spotted a problem, fixed it and took it out for a second test drive.

That's great! Most shops fix it and don't drive it long enough to see if the problem has been fixed.
