I think that's a fairly decent solution actually, except I'm not sure where I'd start trying to set that up.

I wouldn't take it that far, just a minor beef on my part.
When I was a kid in college I worked as service tech at a Honda dealership. I'm 6'5", so most of the time, I had to move the seats in customers' cars. Before I even got in, I used to take a piece of chalk and mark a spot on the seat rail so I knew where to slide it back to when I was finished. I never touched any other settings. Recline, steering wheel tilt, mirrors... nothing. Just slid the seat back, and returned it to its original position when I was finished.
I understand that techs have to mess with the settings if they need to perform a road test. But damn, how comfortable do you need to get to drive the car 30 feet into the service bay for an oil or tire change?
