My closest tire shop had already screwed up the lug nuts and studs on my rig. At least they paid for what they screwed up but they wouldn't pay me to fix it. Sorry, I know what sort of work you do so I did it myself.
The next time I went in for a tire rotation I went to the next shop down the road and I pulled right in and they went right at it. Oooo Kaaaay, the socket they had for the inner wheel nuts was worn out so it rounded off the nuts. Call in the guy in the service truck because he had newer stuff. We got it done but I asked them about fixing what they had messed up.
They asked me where to go for parts, 2 hour round trip so I sat in the doorway of the camper and had a beer. Nothing worth watching on TV.
So, bored.
I worked in a tire shop for years so I could find the broom and I started sweeping. The manager came out to ask me what I was doing. I explained it and asked him if he wanted a beer. He stomped back to his office.
I swept up around 1/2 of that shop and by the time it was done, they just told me to get the heck out of there. Not perhaps in those words but I didn't get charged for anything either.
And people wonder why I carry those new sockets around in my camper?
