Oh this gets better. The flat tire would not hold air. Slow leaker. When I had the rims powdercoated I removed the valve stems. Each valve stem has 2 washers - one outside the rim and one inside the rim. Tire guy got 3 sets of washers correct. On the tire that kept going flat he had both washers on the inside of the rim. I guess I should be glad he got 3 out of 4 right.

 

this is why there's only one shop that i let near my S. performance alignment. more expensive, but ill pay more so i won't have to worry about this kind of crap.

once after having my rears replaced the tech gets in to back out my S and puts it in 6th gear (not reverse) and trys several times looking all Im just like because I told the salesman to explain how you have to get to reverse and this still happened

 

I once got a tire installed and the idiot cracked the bead on the inside so it wouldn't hold air. They tried to put some black sticky crap in there to reseal it but after 2 days of getting my car back on the road one of the tires goes flat.

I took it to a different shop to see wtf was up. This new tire shop kindly pointed out the wrongdoings of the other shop while laughing their a$$es off. The new shop hooked me up and got the tire to work and i've never gone back to the bonehead shop since.

 

Thats why I always watch the guy doing my tires. And every time I tell them 32psi, rims/tires are staggered, and last directional.

One time when I told the guy 32psi, he said back why you want it so low are you going to drag race the car? Told him NO! Its the reccomened psi for my car. Then he said, well it should be 45 and honda is wrong. ...WTF? Retard.
