About 12 years ago I took my 300ZX to merchants on Glenwood to replace my rotors. The next day I am driving down I-70 by the Angus Barn and suddenly the right front wheel locks up and the tire blows out. So I pull over to change the wheel and I pull it off. What do I find ?

THEY FORGET TO TIGHTEN A BOLT ON THE CALIPER.

The caliper had come off on one side and dug into the wheel locking it up !!

Needless to say once they fixed what they screwed up, I have, and never will go back to them to get any work done.

7 Hours seems WAY too long to mount and balance.

It should take no more than 1 hour tops. That is giving the mount guy time to take phone calls, help other folks and typical things shop guys do.
