    How many times have you heard this story? I take my car to the shop and the retards that work there forget to tighten the lug nuts.

    So I took my GP for an alignment and the jackass doesn't tighten the lug nuts. NOW HERE IS THE KICKER..... they take it for a test drive, notice a noise coming from the front left wheel and then proceed to tell me I have a wheel bearing going bad. ARE YOU F**ING KIDDING ME!!??

    So I left the place and immediately knew they had screwed something up. By the time I got it home it was making some God awful noises. I went to take the wheel off to check it out and the nuts were just barely hanging on. Out of 5 they tightened only 1. I've been ranting over this all night, I feel liek Ron White telling the Sears story.

    Was this a specialty shop or a place that hires high school kids?

    I had a shop do that to me. It wasn't a jiff lube either it was a garage that does PA enhanced inspections. That incident is why I carry a full size tire iron in the trunk now.

    It was a tire, wheel and alignment shop. That is all they do, take wheels and tires on and off all day, yet they still can't get it right. All adults there.

    Is this shop going to pay for his repairs?
